A comprehensive guide to modern-day methods for earthquake engineering of concrete dams
Earthquake analysis and design of concrete dams has progressed from static force methods based on seismic coefficients to modern procedures that are based on the dynamics of dam-water-foundation systems.Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Damsoffers a comprehensive, integrated view of this progress over the last fifty years. The book offers an understanding of the limitations of the various methods of dynamic analysis used in practice and develops modern methods that overcome these limitations.
This important book:
Develops procedures for dynamic analysis of two-dimensional and three-dimensional models of concrete dams Identifies system parameters that influence their response Demonstrates the effects of dam-water-foundation interaction on earthquake response Identifies factors that must be included in earthquake analysis of concrete dams Examines design earthquakes as defined by various regulatory bodies and organizations Presents modern methods for establishing design spectra and selecting ground motions Illustrates application of dynamic analysis procedures to the design of new dams and safety evaluation of existing dams. Written for graduate students, researchers, and professional engineers,Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Damsoffers a comprehensive view of the current procedures and methods for seismic analysis, design, and safety evaluation of concrete dams.

This book deals with the design and optimization of the bucket elevator using the discrete element method (DEM). It describes the underlying scientific basis for the design of transport equipment using computer simulations and is focused on issues relevant to the industrial sector, mechanical engineering; and the transport, treatment, measurement, and storage of bulk materials. It presents solutions for mitigating bulk material supply chain interruptions due to process malfunctions and failures, utilizing research on monitoring and evaluating of the dynamic processes of particulate matter.
The aim of the book is to help readers new to the field with the design of innovative devices. Imparting practical information aimed at saving time and money in project design, the book is ideal for engineers, designers, and researchers concerned with all aspects of bulk materials.Introduces and explains fully the Discrete Element Method using measured values as inputs for the method;Shows whether calculated simulations and real measured values models can be used for design;Illustrates how to validate, calibrate, and optimize the dynamic processes of bulk elevators;Explains how to test transport and storage equipment before it is produced using dynamic simulation of material flow on transport lines, saving time and money.

Transitions are provided in hydraulic structures for economy and efficiency. This book covers all types of flow transitions, namely, sub-critical to sub-critical; sub-critical to super critical, super-critical to sub-critical with hydraulic jump and super-critical to super-critical transitions. It initiates with introduction followed by characteristics of flow in different types of transitions and procedures for hydraulic design of transitions in different structures. Different types of appurtenances used to control flow separation and ensure uniform flow at exit of transition and diffusers are included. Examples of hydraulic design of a few typical hydraulic structures are given as well.
