The relationship between capacity and total net benefit of concrete gravity and roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams is investigated using benefit-cost analyses. The total capital cost of such dams is equal to the summation of costs of construction, engineering and consultancy services, right of way, and relocation of structures. Operation, maintenance and repair costs are considered as the annual costs during the service life of the structure. Implementation of dams may lead to the achievement of several benefits, such as meeting municipal water demand, irrigation, hydropower, navigation, flood mitigation, water quality control, wildlife and recreational facilities, and positive impacts on the environment. In a case study, benefit-cost analyses have been carried out for 144 different concrete gravity and RCC dam alternatives that can be implemented at Cine Dam site, Turkey. Stability analyses have also been conducted for the proposed alternatives. The information obtained through this study can be used in decision-making for optimum size and type of a gravity dam.

Reserve estimation using geostatistics Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) Application of geostatistics are being increasingly considered by reservoir analysts and engineers in generating more accurate reservoir models together with usable measures of spatial uncertainty. Geostatistics provides a probabilistic framework and a toolbox for data analysis with early integration of information. In this research, hydrocarbon volume of afield is estimated considering different parameters as gross rock volume, net to gross rock thickness, porosity, permeability, and saturation. Therefore,...
Overlapping Lattice Simulation of Concrete Gravity Dam Collapse Simulations SOYSAL, BERAT FEYZA; Aydın, Beyazıt Bestami; Tuncay, Kağan; Arıcı, Yalın; Binici, Barış (2017-09-01) Estimating the collapse limit state of concrete gravity dams within the framework of performance based design is challenging due to the uncertainty in modelling the response of these systems and the strong dependence of the behavior on the ground motion. The purpose of the study is to investigate the seismic expected damage levels by using the overlapping lattice modeling (OLM) approach with incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) for two representative dam monoliths. OLM employs pin connected bar elements exten...
Effect of Foundation Soil Stiffness on the Seismic Performance of Integral Bridges Dicleli, Murat (Informa UK Limited, 2011-05-01) In this study, the effect of foundation soil stiffness on the seismic performance of integral bridges (IBs) is investigated. For this purpose, nonlinear structural models of a two-span TB with four different foundation soil stiffness types (loose, medium, medium-dense and dense sands) are built. In the nonlinear structural models, nonlinear soil structure interaction including free-field effects is considered. Then, the nonlinear time history analyses of the TB models are conducted using a set of ground mot...
Discrete fracture network modeling in Alaşehir geothermal field Aydın, Hakkı; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2018) Understanding of fractures network and fracture characteristic properties is essential for an effective geothermal reservoir management. Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) is one of the widely used approach to characterize fractured reservoirs. DFN modeling approach uses fracture geometry, conductivity and connectivity to create a fracture network. In this study, DFN modeling is used to characterize Alaşehir geothermal reservoir, which consists from heavily fractured marble and schist. Fracture parameters such...
Deformation analysis of concrete faced Aydın Karacasu dam and comparison of theoretical results with measurements Tosun Tütüncübaşı, Tuğçe; Özkan, Yener Mehmet; Yıldız, Saadet Gülru; Çokça, Erdal (2019-01-01) The improvement in design technologies has enhanced the use of different fill materials in construction of the embankment dams. Rockfill is one of the most preferred fill materials for embankment dam. Also, use of different fill material such as sand-gravel has been preferred in recent years. Previous studies on concrete faced sand-gravel fill dam (CFSGD), results of the laboratory experiments and in-situ testing analysis display that using sand-gravel as a fill material is not only cost-effective but also ...
