Finite-element Stress and Deformation Analysis of a Geomembrane Face Rockfill Dam by ZHAO Yuhao, LI Zhenhua, CHEN Sining, GONG Hanzhong, LIN Wei

“…For a certain reservoir dam that is a geomembrane face rockfill dam,the composite geomembrane is used as the face slab on the dam surface to prevent seepage.A three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element model of this reservoir dam was built to simulate the dam filling construction,the laying of the composite geomembrane,and the process of reservoir impoundment.The stress and deformation of the dam body and the composite geomembrane during the completion and impoundment periods were analyzed,and the rationality of the structural design of this geomembrane face rockfill dam was demonstrated.The calculation results show that the distribution of the dam body displacement and stress before and after impoundment follows the general rules and that impoundment is beneficial to the safety of the dam.Moreover,the shear failure of the dam body is prevented.The composite geomembrane is subject to tensile strain and stress in the lower half of the face slab due to boundary constraints.Nevertheless,the lateral and longitudinal safety factors calculated meet the requirements of design specifications,and the safety of the geomembrane is guaranteed.…”

Reconstruction de l’Eglise catholique, restitution du pouvoir du souverain : le clergé dans la monarchie composite des Habsbourg au xviie siècle by Marie-Élizabeth Ducreux

“…At the end of the fifteenth or at the beginning of the sixteenth century, all the lands over which the younger branch of the Habsburgs were to find themselves reigning, from 1526 on, possessed their own diet, each with its own dynamics and particularities, with its own history. As practices and rules differed, this clergy of a composite monarchy is therefore taken here as a transversal object, indissociably linked to local settings in which its members’ possibilities of action lay.…”
