Failure Assessment of Embankment Dam Elements: Case Study of the Pirot Reservoir System
(MDPI, 2022)
The paper presents a functionality investigation of the key dam elements based on finite element analysis. A detailed analysis of filtration processes, dam strength, and the surrounding rock mass was conducted. Dam elements ...
Framework for Dynamic Modelling of the Dam and Reservoir System Reduced Functionality in Adverse Operating Conditions
(MDPI, 2022)
Dam and reservoir systems (DRSs) are crucial aspects of the infrastructure necessary for reliable water resource management. Nowadays, DRSs are being increasingly affected by numerous natural and anthropogenic impacts ...
Control theory-based data assimilation for open channel hydraulic models: tuning PID controllers using multi-objective optimization
(IWA Publishing, 2022)
Reliable water resources management requires decision support tools to successfully forecast hydraulic data (stage and flow hydrographs). Even though data-driven methods are nowadays trendy to apply, they still fail to ...
Circular Economy in Construction and Demolition Waste Management in the Western Balkans: A Sustainability Assessment Framework
(Sustainability, 2022)
Population growth, consumerism and linear (take-make-dispose) economy models have been piling up waste for decades. The construction industry is also based primarily on linear economy models, but the good news is that most ...
Long-Term Thermal Stress Analysis and Optimization of Contraction Joint Distance of Concrete Gravity Dams
(MDPI, 2022)
Results of the conducted research aiming to demonstrate the methodology of optimization of dam monolith length (distance between contraction joints), through monitoring the thermal tensile stresses during construction and ...
