  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. 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

  4. 3. River-Aquifer Interaction in the Uppsala Esker - a Modelling Study of a Proposed Drinking Water Production site

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

    Author : Kalle Kjellander; [2018]
    Keywords : Surface water-groundwater interactions; MODFLOW-model; Numerical model; Induced infiltration; Hydraulic conductivity; Grund- och ytvattenutbyte; MODFLOW-modell; numerisk modell; inducerad infiltration; hydraulisk konduktivitet;

    Abstract : The Swedish municipalities of Gävle and Älvkarleby need new sources of drinking water as the population grows. Gästrike vatten AB has employed the consultant firm Midvatten AB to assess the possibility of a new groundwater extraction site on the Uppsala esker between Älvkarleby and Skutskär in northern Uppland county.

  5. 4. Internal Erosion and Dam Stability : Analysis of the internal erosion effects on stability of an embankment dam

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Arthur Jedenius; [2018]
    Keywords : Internal erosion stability finite element analysis method plaxis slope seep;

    Abstract : Embankment dams encounter several problems in terms of dam safety. One of those problems is called internal erosion. This phenomenon is induced by the movement of fine particles within the dam due to seepage forces. If the dam is not able to self-heal, the eroded zones will increase which will eventually cause the dam to fail. READ MORE

  6. 5. Numerical Study on Seepage-induced Failure of Caisson Type Breakwaters Using a Stabilized ISPH

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Tetsuro Goda; [2017]
    Keywords : Tsunami; Breakwater; Particle method; SPH; Seepage flow; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This paper presents a stabilized incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method to simultaneously simulate surface and seepage flow. The Navier-Stokes type equation, which manipulates the linear and nonlinear resistance effects caused from porous materials, are employed for tracking fluid motions in porous medium. READ MORE
