2. Numerical study of the effect of thermal ice loads on concrete dams
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : It is essential to understand the mechanics of ice load and how it affects concrete dams located in a cold climate, such as Sweden, where the temperature becomes sufficiently cold to freeze the surface of the reservoir. The purpose of this thesis is to study ice load distribution along concrete dams, and its response during the application of an ice load. READ MORE

3. Verification of the response of a concrete arch dam subjected to seasonal temperature variations
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Many dams existing today were constructed around fifty years ago. Condition monitoring is essential for maintaining high safety and determining the current level of safety and stability for these dams. There is a need for new monitoring techniques and finite element coupled monitoring could be one of these techniques. READ MORE
