Thermo-chemo-mechanical modelling of hydropower structures affected by alkali silica reaction by Nyoni, Bukhosi Raphael

“…To this end, a number of numerical constitutive models have been developed to simulate ASR induced expansion in concrete. These models can generally be categorised as either, (i) microstructural models which aim to link the chemical process of the reaction to its impact at material level or (ii) macrostructural models which focus on the structural level assessment of affected concrete structures. …”

Potential impacts of climate change on hydrological droughts in the Limpopo river basin by Makhanya, Nokwethaba Zamanguni

“…The study uses regional climate model (RCM) measurements (from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment, CORDEX) and a combination of hydrological simulations (using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool Plus model, SWAT+) to predict the impacts at four global warming levels (GWLs: 1.5℃, 2.0℃, 2.5℃, and 3.0℃) under the RCP8.5 future climate scenario. …”
