SMALL DAMS : Guidelines for Design, Construction and Monitoring
Author: Gérard DEGOUTTE | Size: 1.5 MB | Format:RAR | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: French Committee on Large Dams | Year: 2002 | pages: 179 | ISBN: 2-85362-448-X
These guidelines for the design and construction of small dams have been drafted under the aegis of the French Committee on Large Dams. Small dams are conventionally defined as dams less than approximately 25 metres high.
The designer of a small dam may face a difficult task because he will not have access to the design and monitoring resources commonly deployed for larger dams.
The recommendations and advice in these guidelines have been drawn up on the basis of the climate, population and economic conditions found in France. They may require some modification if used in a different context.
For example, safety criteria may be relaxed if the valley downstream of the dam is sparsely populated; greater caution may be required in the absence of abundant rainfall and streamflow records; and some of the arrangements recommended may be considered needlessly costly luxuries.
Nevertheless, the guidelines provide a consistent foundation on which country-specific alternatives can be built up. It is thus of undeniable general interest, and the French Committee has decided to support an English language version.

Application of Seismic Cone for characterization of Ground Improvement by Vibro Replacement
Author: Ali Amini Asalemi | Size: 29.4 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: The University of British Columbia | Year: 2006 | pages: 342
Abstract :
The objective of this thesis was to gain a better understanding of physical process of ground improvement by vibro-replacement and of how the induced changes is ground conditions affect the interpretation of seismic cone penetration testing used to asses its effectiveness. This was achieved by a combination of field testing and monitoring supported by numerical modelling of both the vibro-replacement process and of in situ testing. Field measurement were made of the input motions created by the vibrator and the induced response of the ground. The measured vibrator motions were input to a numerical model of the soil mass and the results of the analysis were compared to the measure data. The results of seismic cone testing before and after a 15 sites and existing chamber test data were analyzed and additional numerical modeling of seismic cone testing in the post treatment ground conditions was carried out.

This book gives an introduction to the finite element method as a general computational method for solving partial differential equations approximately. Our approach is mathematical in nature with a strong focus on the underlying mathematical principles, such as approximation properties of piecewise polynomial spaces, and variational formulations of partial differential equations, but with a minimum level of advanced mathematical machinery from functional analysis and partial differential equations. In principle, the material should be accessible to students with only knowledge of calculus of several variables, basic partial differential equations, and linear algebra, as the necessary concepts from more advanced analysis are introduced when needed. Throughout the text we emphasize implementation of the involved algorithms, and have therefore mixed mathematical theory with concrete computer code using the numerical software MATLAB is and its PDE-Toolbox. We have also had the ambition to cover some of the most important applications of finite elements and the basic finite element methods developed for those applications, including diffusion and transport phenomena, solid and fluid mechanics, and also electromagnetics.
