• Influence of concrete’s mechanical properties on the cracking of concrete dams 

      Ulfberg, Adrian; Seger, Andreas; Bista, Dipen; Wilde, Marie Westberg; Johansson, Fredrik; Das, Oisik; Sas, Gabriel (Chapter, 2021)
      Analytical methods of structural stability assessment of concrete dams are often too simple and thus conservative in their predictions.Without the actual foundation geometry, capacity for some rigid body failure modes are ...
    • Influence of large-scale asperities on the shear strength of concrete-rock interface of small buttress dams 

      Sas, Gabriel; Popescu, Cosmin; Bista, Dipen; Seger, Andreas; Arntsen, Bård (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This paper presents an investigation of the influence of large-scale asperities on the shear strength of four physical models of a pillar (also known as buttress web)from Kalhovd dam in Norway. The objective was to observe ...
    • Influence of large-scale asperities on the stability of concrete dams 

      Ulfberg, Adrian; Jaime, Gonzales-Libreros; Das, Oisik; Sas, Gabriel; Andersson, Erik; Bista, Dipen; Arntsen, Bård; Seger, Andreas (Chapter, 2022)
      For concrete dams founded on rock, there are only a few options in the common analysis methods to account for large‐scale asperities. However, previous research alludes that they have a significant impact on the behaviour ...
    • Numerical analysis of ice loads on Taraldsvikfossen dam 

      Seger, Andreas; Sand, Bjørnar; Arntsen, Bård; Petrich, Chris; O'Sadnick, Megan (Chapter, 2020)
      Static ice loads (ice actions) are a key design parameter for dams in cold climates. Since 2012,ice stresses have been measured at Taraldsvikfossen reservoir located in Narvik, Norway. Similar to earlier observations in ...
