Elevated rail transit has been developed in some big cities in China in recent years. However, specialized codes for design of the bridges in the elevated rail transit system have not yet been established. Based on the prestressed concrete (PC) box girder bridges on Guangzhou metro line 4, some technical features of design principle and technology requisition, ensemble plan and design load of b...

During construction of concrete faced rockfill dam (CFRD), the extrusion-sidewall will be protruding or deficiency under normal. Before panel construction, local slope cutting should taken for squeezed side wall supplementary filling measures after excavating wall, which affect mechanical deformation panel. According to monitoring data concrete-faced dams some hydro-electric station in Hubei Pr...

in this paper we investigate the mechanism of internal erosion caused in the right abutment of the shahghasem dam’s spillway. shahghasem dam is an earthen dam located in yasouj, in southwest of iran. a significant hole and pipe have been observed in the corner of the right abutment from upstream view. the foundation is marlstone, which has low cohesion and susceptible for internal erosion and p...

Concrete temperature control during dam construction (e.g., concrete placement and curing) is important for cracking prevention. In this study, a short-term forecast model mass cooling developed using artificial neural networks (ANN). The development workflow the consists of data integration, preprocessing, construction, application. More than 80 000 monitoring samples are collected by intellig...

The simulation of damage process of high arch dam subjected to strong earthquake shocks is significant to the evaluation of its performance and seismic safety, considering the catastrophic effect of dam failure. However, such numerical simulation requires rigorous computational capacity. Conventional serial computing falls short of that and parallel computing is a fairly promising solution to t...
