Fracture Mechanics of Concrete Gravity Dams
1989A comprehensive investigation on the behavior of cracked concrete gravity dams using fracture mechanics concepts through a series of parametric studies is presented. The effect of various forms of loading, concrete age and anisotropy on the stress intensity factors, direction of crack profiles, crack lengths and stress redistribution is assessed.

Austin Dam, Pennsylvania: The Sliding Failure of a Concrete Gravity Dam
Environmental and Engineering Geoscience, 2005The Austin Dam, a concrete gravity structure, failed catastrophically on September 30, 1911, less than 2 years after its construction. Several engineering evaluations of the failure have been made since immediately following the disaster. Engineers involved in the construction of the dam recognized early on that the dam failed by sliding on its rock ...

Earthquake response of concrete gravity dams
2010Nepal is set to construct a number of large dams to cater for its ever increasing power demand. One of the big dams in the pipeline is Arun III dam in the Sankhuwasabha district in eastern Nepal. The Arun III dam was designed in the mid 1980s and little is known about its capability to resist major earthquakes which are probable in this region.
