Architectura</em> (<em>ASPA</em>) is an international peer-reviewed, <a href="https://aspa.sggw.edu.pl/open_access">open access</a> journal published by the <a href="https://wydawnictwo.sggw.edu.pl/">Warsaw University of Life Science Press</a> (Warsaw, Poland).</p> <p><em>ASPA </em>aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum for researchers, designers, engineers and administration staff. The journal welcomes submissions from different fields of <a href="https://aspa.sggw.edu.pl/cel">civil engineering and related topics</a>.</p> <p>The current academic score of the journal is <strong>20 points</strong><br /><a href="https://www.gov.pl/web/nauka/komunikat-ministra-nauki-z-dnia-5-stycznia-2024-r-w-sprawie-wykazu-czasopism-naukowych-i-recenzowanych-materialow-z-konferencji-miedzynarodowych">(journal list of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education). </a></p> <p>The journal is indexed in ICI Journal Master List (Index Copernicus) <br />with the current scoring <a href="https://journals.indexcopernicus.com/search/details?id=18982">ICV 2023: 100.00, </a>and <a href="https://aspa.sggw.edu.pl/indexing">other data bases of scholary articles. </a></p> <p>Starting from 2023, the journal has moved to the continuous publication model on an annual basis. This means that a paper is published online as soon as it is ready, without waiting for other accepted manuscripts to be ready for publication. In this model, an open yearly issue builds up gradually - a paper is added to the online issue immediately after it is ready for publication, with the most recent articles appearing at the top of the issue section. The current issue is thus visible as "in progress" unless it will be completed. We close each issue in December. New papers will be added to the next open issue. </p> <p><em><strong>Editor-in-Chief</strong></em> - Prof. Eugeniusz Koda, PhD, Eng., Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW), Institute of Civil Engineering, Nowoursynowska Str. 159, 02-776, Warsaw, Poland; e-mail: <a href="mailto:eugeniusz_koda@sggw.edu.pl">eugeniusz_koda@sggw.edu.pl</a></p>https://aspa.sggw.edu.pl/article/view/9880Stability analysis of the Mamak Dam’s behaviour under various water levels in the reservoir2025-01-27T13:24:38+00:00Noor Halimhalymnoor@gmail.comZbigniew Lechowiczhalymnoor@gmail.comMirosław Lipińskihalymnoor@gmail.com<p>A dam is an engineered construction designed to store water primarily for human needs. When a dam fails, it has the potential to become a substantial disaster. Some primary causes of dam failure are excessive water leakage, landslides and earthquakes. In general, the current performance evaluation of the Mamak Dam falls into the “fairly good” category, even in the aftermath of the earthquake event with a magnitude of 6.5 Mw in 2018. In this study, the dam’s stability is analysed under seismic events, rapid drawdown and maximum daily rainfall infiltration. It is concluded that the upstream and downstream slopes were generally found to be safe in all design situations. Nevertheless, the impact of the maximum design earthquake (MDE) is notable in both pseudo-static and dynamic analyses, causing a reduction of over 50% in the factor of safety (FoS) – ultimately falling below the minimum safety threshold. Conversely, the operating basis earthquake (OBE) has a relatively minor effect on the FoS.</p>2025-01-13T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Noor Halim, Zbigniew Lechowicz, Mirosław Lipiński
