A frost protected shallow foundation (FPSF) is a practical alternative to a deeper, more-costly foundation in cold regions with seasonal ground freezing and the potential for frost heave. The International Residential Code® (IRC) includes prescriptive methods ...

A comparative study of temperature distribution in a roller compacted concrete dam during and after construction is carried out using two well known computers codes namely ANSYS and COSMOS. Two and threedimensional finite element models have been created and ...

<p>The increasing number of roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams being built around the world demands accurate methodologies for the realistic short- and long-term evaluations of the risk of thermally induced cracking in these constructions. In this work a ...
