Abstract This study presents a coupled thermal-structural finite element analysis of large concrete gravity dam in Bulgaria for exploring the response under different actual load combinations. The loads applied to structure are caused by varying water level reservoir and ambient temperature typical respective seasons. developed computational model was calibrated with real plumb measurements. Ba...

Rip-rap Bendungan Sengguruh berfungsi sebagai peredam energi yang dapat mereduksi hempasan ombak agar tidak terjadi penggerusan tanah pada lereng hulu bendungan. Studi ini bertujuan menganalisa potensi terjadinya gelombang air diakibatkan oleh angin merusak material dilihat berdasarkan tinggi dihasilkan serta perubahan dimensi dihitung dari metode perhitungan desain (VMPH). Data dibutuhkan yait...

Dam breaks of landslide dams are always accompanied by large numbers of casualties, a large loss of property, and negative influences on the downstream ecology and environment. This study uses the Jiadanwan landslide dam, created by the Wenchuan earthquake, as a case study example. Several laboratory experiments are carried out to analyse the dam-break mechanism of the landslide dam. The differ...

In this paper, we consider the optimization of temperature conditions and thermo-stressed state a concrete gravity dam made extra lean roller-compacted constructed in climate corresponding to Pskem HPP Republic Uzbekistan. We show need take into account effect solar radiation on heating mass during layer-by-layer construction dam. A methodology was used estimate radiation, considering cloud cov...

Along with the development of virtual reality (VR) technology, simulation system as a new perspective of management methods and technical means in the progress of the project management plays an increasingly important role. This paper presents a Virtools-based visual simulation method and realizes a concrete dam pouring process. It proposes that the mode of the dam for a certain period could be...

Edwardsiella tarda is a serious aquaculture pathogen that can infect many cultured fish species. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential importance of DNA adenine methylase (Dam) in E. tarda pathogenesis. The E. tarda dam gene (dam(Et)) was cloned from a pathogenic strain, TXD1, isolated from diseased fish. Dam(Et) shares high (70.2%) sequence identity with the Dam proteins of Ye...
