Behaviour Study of Grouted Connection for Offshore Wind Turbine Structures with Brittle Cement Based Grouts
(2020)
Researches show that the energy demand in the world is significantly increasing and climate change becomes a problematic issue, therefore, the interest in renewable energy is growing extremely fast. Offshore wind energy is one of the most effective renewable sources in Europe and other places in the world. One of the most important parts in the offshore foundation is the grouted connection as it is the first element to be designed in the design of the foundation structure of an offshore wind turbine because the ...

Design of flexible pavements with cold recycled asphalt bases: Comparison of five national approaches
(2020)
The Application of reclaimed asphalt is becoming increasingly important in the European Road Network. Beside the conventional recycling options (i. e. hot asphalt mixtures), cold recycling has been successfully applied in numerous road structures within the secondary and the main road network. However, the standard design procedures for common pavement materials as well as the approaches for cold recycling differ from one country to another. The comparison of five national pavement design procedures shows, that ...

Evaluation of Statistical-Downscaling/Bias-Correction Methods to Predict Hydrologic Responses to Climate Change in the Zarrine River Basin, Iran
(2018-04-20)
Modeling the hydrologic responses to future changes of climate is important for improving adaptive water management. In the present application to the Zarrine River Basin (ZRB), with the major reach being the main inflow source of Lake Urmia (LU), firstly future daily temperatures and precipitation are predicted using two statistical downscaling methods: the classical statistical downscaling model (SDSM), augmented by a trend-preserving bias correction, and a two-step updated quantile mapping (QM) method. The general ...

Estimating the Effects of Climate Change on the Water Resources in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB)
(2018)
Water balance calculations and spatially distributed rainfall-runoff models require high-resolution climatic datasets as the primary input, however, in the Upper Indus basin (UIB), it is rare to find in-situ observational climate data which have spatial, altitudinal and temporal coverage, suitable enough for distributed hydrological investigations and so for the assessment of climate-change’s hydrological impacts. The average precipitation amounts over the UIB are unrealistically low to sustain the observed discharge ...

Energy Budget- and Temperature Index- based Calculations of Seasonal Mass Balances and Discharge in the Tropical Glacier Artesonraju and Artesoncocha Basin in the Cordillera Blanca,
Peru
(2020)
The core of the present Doctoral study deals with glacier simulations for calculating mass balance and discharge in the Artesonraju glacier and Artesoncocha basin, in the Cordillera Blanca (CB), Peru. For this purpose, two different models are used. One is an energy-model (EBM) which is physically based and uses energy fluxes measurements on the glaciers, whereas the other one is a temperature index model (TIM) which is empirical and uses mainly temperature and precipitation as its main input data.
An analysis of ...

Rainfall Prediction with AMSR–E Soil Moisture Products Using SM2RAIN and Nonlinear Autoregressive Networks with Exogenous Input (NARX) for Poorly Gauged Basins: Application to the Karkheh River Basin, Iran
(2018-07-23)
Accurate estimates of daily rainfall are essential for understanding and modeling the physical processes involved in the interaction between the land surface and the atmosphere. In this study, daily satellite soil moisture observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–Earth Observing System (AMSR–E) generated by implementing the standard National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) algorithm are employed for estimating rainfall, firstly, through the use of recently developed approach, SM2RAIN ...

Meshing highly regular structures: The case of super carbon nanotubes of arbitrary order
(2015)
Mesh generation is an important step inmany numerical methods.We present the “HierarchicalGraphMeshing” (HGM)method as a novel approach to mesh generation, based on algebraic graph theory.The HGM method can be used to systematically construct configurations exhibiting multiple hierarchies and complex symmetry characteristics. The hierarchical description of structures provided by the HGM method can be exploited to increase the efficiency of multiscale and multigrid methods. In this paper, the HGM method is employed ...

Lateral spreading in basal reinforced embankments supported by pile-like elements
(Kassel Univ. Press, 2008)
Bei Dämmen auf wenig tragfähigem Untergrund ist es zwischenzeitlich Stand der Technik, an der
Dammbasis eine Bewehrung aus hochzugfesten Geokunststoffen (Gewebe oder Geogitter) einzulegen.
Dabei können die Bewehrungslagen direkt auf den weichen Boden oder über Pfahlelementen
angeordnet werden, die die Dammlasten in tiefere, tragfähigere Schichten abtragen.
Die horizontale Bewehrung an der Dammbasis hat die Aufgabe, die vertikalen Dammlasten und
die nach außen wirkenden Spreizkräfte aufzunehmen. Dies ist besonders ...
