<p>Recent years have witnessed a growing investigation of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for monitoring the deformation of tunnels. TLS provides the ability to obtain a more accurate and complete description of the tunnel surfaces, allowing the determination ...

<p>In recent years, some new technologies have been applied to dam deformation measurement, offering unprecedented opportunities to safety management and structural analysis. Among these, Areal Deformation Measurement techniques from terrestrial (Terrestrial ...

<p>Flow-like landslides are rapidly moving fluid&ndash;solid mixtures that can cause significant destruction along paths that run far from their original sources. Existing models for run out prediction and motion simulation of flow-like landslides have many ...

<p>A comparative study of pile design is presented using Eurocode 7 and an expanded reliability - based design (RBDE) method that is recently developed by the authors. A design example that has been used in the literature to illustrate Eurocode 7 is re-designed ...

<p>This paper presents the design concepts of Eurocode 7, Eurocode 8 and ISO 23469. Detailed comparisons are made between Eurocode 8 Part 1 and the ISO code. Conclusions are drawn on their relative merits. A simple strip foundation design example is shown ...

The contact behavior between concrete face slab and dam body is important to the safety of concrete-faced rockfill dams. The deficient of dam body and the separation of concrete slab from cushion layer during construction and in operation are the main concerns. ...
