  1. 1. Dynamic Warning Signals and Time Lag Analysis for Seepage Prediction in Hydropower Dams : A Case Study of a Swedish Hydropower Plant

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

    Author : Lovisa Olsson; Julia Hellström; [2023]
    Keywords : hydropower; dam safety; dam monitoring; seepage; prediction models; data-driven methods; artificial intelligence; AI;  linear regression; Support Vector Regression; SVR; Long Short-Term Memory; LSTM;

    Abstract : Hydropower is an important energy source since it is fossil-free, renewable, and controllable. Characteristics that become especially important as the reliance on intermittent energy sources increases. However, the dams for the hydropower plants are also associated with large risks as a dam failure could have fatal consequences. READ MORE

  3. 2. Assessment of a sediment management solution in a reservoir with a sluicing technique using a HEC-RAS 2D model : Case study of Andakílsá river in west Iceland

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emilía Sól Gudgeirsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : SediCon Sluicer; Andakílsá Hydropower Station; HEC-RAS 2D Sediment modelling; Sustainable sediment management; SediCon Sluicer; Andakílsá vattenkraftverk; HEC-RAS 2D Sediment Modellering; Hållbar sedimenthantering;

    Abstract : Sediment-related issues in reservoirs can often pose significant challenges to their operational effectiveness, sustainability, and environmental impact. Sustainable sediment management can help resolve these issues and extend the lifespan of dams. READ MORE

  4. 3. Numerical method to investigate and assess the capacity of a damaged concrete structure : Using image analysis and advanced concrete modeling

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Zakariya Benosmane; [2022]
    Keywords : Damaged Concrete Structure; Extended Finite Element Method XFEM ; Concrete Dam- aged Plasticity CDP ; Photogrammetry; Crack Detection Methods.;

    Abstract : Concrete has for decades been one of the main materials used to construct important structuressuch as dams and bridges. However, after years of service, the concrete structuresstart deteriorating and signs of damages start showing on the structure. READ MORE

  5. 4. Low-carbon concretes in infrastructures : Applicability, potential and carbon footprint focusing on the Parisian Metro Line L18

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Romain Durand; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Low-carbon concretes are more and more commonly used to limit the environmental impact of concrete structures. Among concrete structures, infrastructures are characterized by their high load-bearing function (foundations, bridges, aqueducts, dams, etc.). READ MORE

  6. 5. Numerical simulations of pore pressure on concrete buttress dams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Mohammed Abdi; Dimitirios Ntzimanis; [2022]
    Keywords : Porepressureanalysis; upliftpressure; buttressdams; drainage; groutcur- tain; rockfractures; damsafety; RIDAS.;

    Abstract : Uplift pressure is one of the most dominant forces on a dam structure. Difference in head water and tail water creates a hydraulic gradient resulting an upward oriented pressure called uplift pressure, which reduces the dam safety against sliding. READ MORE
