Adiabatic Temperature Rise Test of Cemented Sand and Gravel (CSG) and Its Application to Temperature Stress Prediction of CSG Dam by Minmin Jiang, Xin Cai, Xingwen Guo, Qinghui Liu, Tianye Zhang

“…The results show that the distributions of temperature and temperature stress are similar to those of roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam. Due to the high temperature stress at the long intermittent surface and downstream surface of the dam, the thermal insulation measures on the surface of the dam should be considered in the CSG dam with high cementing agent contents and in the severe cold environment. …”

Study on Dynamic Constitutive Model of Weakly Consolidated Soft Rock in Western China by Lei Wang, Hongming Su, Yue Qin, Shiguan Chen

“…It was also found that the constitutive equation was applicable to express the dynamic mechanical properties of rock-like materials such as hard rock, soft rock, frozen soil, raw coal, and concrete. It can be referred to the parameter determination method in this paper to study and determine the parameters, reduce the difficulty of parameter selection, and improve the practicability of the constitutive model and parameters, so as to guide the engineering practice better.…”
