Deterioration of concrete in a hydroelectric concrete gravity dam and its characterisation

Cement and Concrete Research, 2006
A hydroelectric concrete gravity dam in the Snowy Hydro network had shown signs of concrete distress in the form of cracking in some sections of the dam wall, and vertical movements in the wall, measured in routine surveys on the crest of the dam wall. Concrete elements of the associated power station had also shown some degree of distress in the form ...

Centrifuge Modeling and Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1995
In gravity dams, crack growth is inhibited by gravitational effects; thus, correct model testing can only be accomplished in a centrifuge where the gravitational field is inversely proportional to the scale. Following an overview of centrifugal testing, this paper reports on the first centrifuge testing of concrete gravity dam models.

Fragility Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams

Journal of Infrastructure Systems, 2001
Concrete gravity dams are an important part of the nation's infrastructure. Many dams have been in service for decades. During the service life of a dam, operating conditions and natural environmental factors may have led to some deterioration in its structural integrity, mechanical equipment, and foundation.

LEFM Applications to Concrete Gravity Dams

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1997
The evaluation of the safety factor of old dams under higher flood levels in the last few years has been investigated under the assumptions of fracture mechanics. The extensive need for research in this field was recognized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that now requires a fracture mechanics investigation prior to the rehabilitation of cracked ...

Seismic stability of concrete gravity dams

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 1989
AbstractLinear finite element analyses are commonly used to simulate the behaviour of gravity dam—foundation systems. However, the foundation is generally unable to develop any significant tensile stresses. Therefore any tension occurring in the vicinity of the dam—foundation interface is largely fictitious.
