4. 8. Regional Regression Models of Mean Annual Streamflow and Design Flow in a Tropical Region of Colombia.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Anisa Zigaf Elfellah; Amanda Eriksson; [2018]
   Keywords : mean annual streamflow; extreme flow; design flow; regional regression model; ungauged watershed; hydrological homogeneous region; Gumbel distribution; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A responsible and sustainable water resources management is important. It is also crucial to take the presence of watercourses into account during design of hydraulic structures such as small dams and bridges. Doing this requires knowledge of estimates of annual streamflow and extreme flows to be used for design purposes. READ MORE

5. 9. Finite element analysis of temperature in hardening concrete using isothermal calorimetric data

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : John Mac; [2017]
   Keywords : isoconversion; isothermal calorimetry; thermal analysis; finite element method; numerical simulation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The produced heat in hardening concrete is of special importance to consider as the temperature rise within a large concrete structure can become such high that the structure may experience thermal cracking. With use of a simulation program that is based on the finite element method, the temperatures within the structure can be estimated to predict possible crack development. READ MORE
