An example of a dam filled with water. Shown is the work of the shell in the flow of a catastrophic wave. Visible form of deformation of the damming element. Shown is the change of minimum and maximum principal stresses in the shell element on the upstream water side. Shown is the change of minimum and maximum principal stresses in the shell element on the downstream water side. In addition, the change in pressure inside the shell is shown.
An example of an air-filled dam. Shown is the work of the shell in the flow of a catastrophic wave. Visible form of deformation of the damming element. Shown is the change of minimum and maximum principal stresses in the shell element on the upstream water side.
An example of an inflatable weir filled with water. The operation of the shell in the flow of a catastrophic wave is shown. Visible form of deformation of the dam element. The change of pressures acting on the shell is shown. In addition, the change in pressure inside the shell is shown.
