Assessing Visual Preferences of the Local Public for Environmental Mitigation Measures of Hydropower Impacts—Does Point-of-View Location Make a Difference?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Hydropower is a highly appreciated climate-friendly source of energy production. However, it has non-negligible negative impacts on the environment and landscape aesthetics where the energy is produced, affecting the ... -
Improved design of unlined air cushion surge chambers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)An overview of important design considerations for unlined air cushion surge chambers is given and three innovative solutions that can enable a safer and more economic design are presented. The paper is based on information ... -
A numerical geotechnical model for computing soil slides at banks of water reservoirs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Soil slides can occur when the water level in a lake or a reservoir is lowered. This may take place in situations when a reservoir is flushed to remove sediments. The current study describes a three-dimensional numerical ... -
Rock Stress Measurements for Unlined Pressure Tunnels: A True Triaxial Laboratory Experiment to Investigate the Ability of a Simplified Hydraulic Jacking Test to Assess Fracture Normal Stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)To avoid hydraulic failure of unlined pressure tunnels, knowledge of minimum principal stress is needed. Such knowledge is only obtainable from in situ measurements, which are often time-consuming and relatively costly, ...
