Software

This page briefly introduces some of the software I have used and developed during my research.

PPACD

PPACD (Probabilistic Performance Assessment of Concrete Dams) is a group of Matlab-based scripts and functions working around the main finite element program (e.g. Merlin) and facilitate probabilistic analysis of engineering structures. PPACD includes advanced sampling techniques (e.g., LHS) with correlation, uncertainty quantification, sensitivity analysis, fragility models, etc. Uncertainty in material properties, loading, ground motion, and time-dependent aging are all supported.

SEN4AAR

SEN4AAR is a search engine based on hundreds of documents related to the alkali-aggregate reaction. It includes summary results of many peer-reviewed papers and documents and provides a user-friendly environment for quick research about any topic related to AAR [Link]. 

DARA

Dam Analytical Reliability Analysis (DARA) is a simple Matlab-based GUI application that provides mean and standard deviation of failure probability (Pf) for different gravity dam classes (having their height, H, and width-to-height ratio, B/H) at different ages. This application is developed as part of this journal paper (which provides information about the aging model and other assumptions). This application can be downloaded here for free. 

Auto-CGDam

Auto-CGDam is an automated curved gravity dam design tool developed in Matlab. It provides an easy-to-use environment to design gravity dams with any desired cross-section, canyon topography, and radius. The location of vertical joints can be customized, as well as dam-rock interface joints. The corresponding finite element mesh with (hexahedral and/or tetrahedral elements) is also developed automatically.
