Spillways play an important role in the safety of dams. To ensure the safety of dams, spillways should be designed considering floods with long return periods. To increase the discharge capacity of a spillway, a designer ...

Estimation of crushing stress is important to understand the crushing mechanism and shear strength of granular material. One simple constitutive model using the reference crushing stress had been proposed for describing ...

When a fault crashes, seismic body waves travel away the source to the ground surface. Seismic wave characteristics change due to source, path and site effects. Site effects consist of surface and subsurface irregularities ...

Labyrinth spillway has become an appropriate choice to increase an existing spillway’s capacity.  Thus, it is necessary to understand the hydraulic performance of labyrinth spillways/weirs. This  paper numerically solves ...

Spatially continuous data is important in modeling, numerical and computational works. Since sampling points are not continuous, interpolation methods should be used to estimate data at unsampled points. In this paper, ...

Hazard analysis is the prominent stage in performance-based earthquake engineering and properintensity measure selection is itssignificant phase. Despite diversity in recently proposed intensity measures, there are still ...
