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. Installation of cables for monitoring purposes in the ground by using Horizontal Directional Drilling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

   Author : Eduardo Garcia Cañas; [2022]
   Keywords : HDD; Earth Embankment Dam; Resistivity; ERT; IP; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The median age for Swedish earth embankment dams is about 60 years. Due to its longevity, one of the major concerns is the internal erosion causing increased seepage through the dam, which ultimately may increases the risk for dam failure. To meet this challenge, there is a need for improved monitoring methods. READ MORE

4. 3. Geomechanical testing of non-hardening grout : for determination of flowability and strength properties

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

   Author : Axel Barrdahl; [2022]
   Keywords : Non-hardening; Grout; Embankment dam; Repair; Fall cone; Uniaxial Compressive Strength; UCS; Triaxial;

   Abstract : Due to an increasing amount of aging tendencies in Swedish embankment dams, failures such as internal erosion has become a more common problem. Internal erosion is a phenomenon where certain soil material within the embankment dam is removed, often over a longer period of time. READ MORE

5. 4. Analysis of seepage, contaminant transport, compaction and safety of the Zhaoli ditch dam, a tailing reservoir : A modeling study of a tailing reservoir with GeoStudio

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Abstract : Inthe mining industry people remove rock from the ground to obtain a metal ore. Afterprocessing , the uneconomic fraction called tailings is deposited as a slurry in large reservoirs . READ MORE

6. 5. Design of RCC gravity dam and FEM modelling in GeoStudio - Longtan dam

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Patrick Lucas Arkadiusz Bochnak; Maria Eugenia Correa Saracco; [2020]
   Keywords : RCC; China; Longtan dam; Flood routing; GeoStudio; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : China’s rapid economic development has led to a continuously increasing energy demand and the country is the world’s biggest energy user as of today. The country accounts for around 23% of the global energy production, but 70% of the Chinese energy is generated with coal power and China is the biggest emitter of CO2 in the world. READ MORE
