Seminar: Modelling of concrete dams |
|||
|
About the seminar Numerical modelling of concrete dams is, due to the potentially disastrous consequences associated to failure of these large structures, a very important field of application. Moreover, the structural analysis and safety assessment of concrete dams comprises a multiplicity of modelling tasks which demand from the engineer extensive knowledge on diverse fields of different phenomenological nature. The seminar aims to address the most important topics related to the modelling of the behaviour of concrete dams and their foundations, offering to the participants the opportunity of improving their understanding and knowledge on this field, with particular reference to the recent developments of numerical techniques. The program addresses the general aspects and design issues, the finite and discrete element methods applied to the structural analysis of dams and foundation under static and dynamic load, concrete constitutive models, monitoring of dynamic behaviour, modelling of rock mass foundation, thermal analysis, roller-compacted concrete dams, long term behaviour, swelling processes due to alkali-aggregate reactions, etc. Who should attend?
