Temperature conditions and stressed state of a lightened concrete gravity dam operating under conditions prevailing at the Kurpsa hydraulic facility

1. The design of the dam that we have discussed and the procedure employed for its construction promote the monolithic behavior of the structure during construction and operation. 2. From the standpoint of improving the stressed state of dams in the near-rock zone, it is expedient to restrict the height of the first 8–12 blocks to 0.75 m, holding the height of the remaining blocks to 1 m. 3. It is possible to reduce the thickness of the thermal insulation called for in the design by a factor of ∼1.5-2.

Coupling Between Inductances In GaAs MMICDesign

This paper describes the influence of the coupling between planar spiral inductors on the performances of a monolithic microwave linear circuit behaviour. An equivalent lumped-element model, developed using a full-wave approach, is discussed. The with the foundry model is compared with the standard foundry model. A GaAs MMIC LNA operating in 2.45 Ghz ISM-band is used as a benchmark for validating the model.
