During the first filling, reservoir is gradually raised in multiple stages. At each stage, filling paused to allow adequate time for monitoring and evaluating performance of dam its foundation. The analysis monitored behavior assessment security conditions performed by comparing values measured system installed with predicted numerical models representing structural behavior, material propertie...

This study presents a procedure for modeling the heat transfer process in concrete dam, taking into account time-varying boundary conditions on upstream and downstream sides of dam (i.e., water level reservoir, spillover, insolation, shading) which affect temperature dam. The large arch-gravity Moste Dam (in North West Slovenia) was analyzed, where an automated system measurement temperatures, ...

T he last tooth in the dental arch frequently requires treatment of dental caries. Using the rubber dam, dentists encounter difficulty in preparing the distoproximal box because the bow of the clamp interferes with the dental handpiece. This problem has been partly ameliorated by the clamp with a long distal extension. However, in some instances, the extension impinges on the anterior border of...
