abstract stepped spillways are of most important hydraulic constructions to dissipation energy of water flow. these constructions are used in opening channel to transfer water from upper level to lower level. because of considerable effect of steps on flow dissipation energy and also the resulted developments in construction of roller competed concrete rcc, the mentioned constructions have draw...

bendway weirs are an important tool in multi-purpose erosion control and are implemented to control erosion, restore streams, and improve habitat. these structures create a hydraulic effect that reduces erosion on the outer bank of a bend by reducing flow velocities near the outer bank and reduce the concentration of currents on the outer bank creating better current alignment through the bend....

although bearing capacity of footings on top of slopes under monotonic loadings have been investigated widely so far, safety and bearing capacity of these structures against repeated dynamic loads have not been considered well enough. in this paper, lower bound dynamic shakedown theorem in its numerical form has been employed to firstly obtain bearing capacity of strip footings on top of slopes...

Abstract Weirs are structures that important for measuring flow and controlling water levels. Research has shown the discharge coefficient is not constant depends on crest length, height of weir, upstream head, downstream slopes. In this study, effect these parameters ( C d ) investigated by numerical simulation. The current study present simulation using ANSYS FLUENT software. total number sim...

The geological structure and stratum lithology have important roles in the seismic stability of complex slopes; however, their complicate engineering construction. Four three-dimensional, layered granite slope models with infinite boundaries were modeled via finite element method. response characteristics slopes are systematically analyzed time–frequency domain. A frequency-domain analysis meth...

This paper investigates response of triangular shell strip footings situated on the sandy slope. A series of reduced-scale plate load tests were conducted to cover different parameters including three shell footing types with different apex angles in addition to a flat footing, four different distances for strip footings from the crest of the slope namely “edge distance” and reinforcement statu...

soil slopes are sometimes curved in plan rather than being straight. this curvature,especially when it is convex, decreases the bearing capacity of the slope. finite element methodhas been used here in this research to investigate the reducing effect of curvature on bearingcapacity of a slope. failure of soil has been assumed to be according to mohr-coulomb criteria;but the flow rule of the soi...

Abstract. Over the last 2 decades, permafrost degradation has been observed to be a major driver of enhanced rock slope instability and associated hazards in high mountains. While thermal regime mountains addressed several modelling approaches, no mechanical models that thoroughly explain destabilisation controls degrading have developed. Meanwhile, recent laboratory studies shown affects both,...

This paper presents the results of a series of small-scale model tests and numerical analyses conducted on circular and ring model footings located near geogrid reinforced sand slopes. Layers of geogrid were used as reinforcement. For numerical analyses Finite Element Method (FEM) was used. The effects of reinforcement depth, size, number of layers, and the horizontal distance between reinforce...

The plotting of cumulative sums (cusums), a technique of proven value in the detection of trends in data collected at intervals of time, may be modified to analyze circadian blood pressure patterns quantitatively. Mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure is taken as the reference value and is subtracted from each pressure value. The products of the remainders and the corresponding time intervals ...
