The cohesive frictional crack model applied to the analysis of the dam-foundation joint [PDF]
, 2010 The mechanical behaviour of dam-foundation joints plays a key role in concrete dam engineering since it is the weakest part of the structure and therefore the evolutionary crack process occurring along this joint determines the global load-bearing ...

Optimization of Invasive Weed for Optimal Dimensions of Concrete Gravity Dams [PDF]
Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering, 2022 Dam construction projects among the most extensive and most expensive projects are considered. It is always appropriate and optimal for such concrete structures to reduce the volume of concrete and consequently reduce construction costs is essential.

Investigation of Uplift force effects on Seismic Damage of Concrete Gravity Dam in the Near-Fault and Far-Fault Ground Motions:Case Study Shafaroud Dam [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 Uplift force has significant role on dynamic response of concrete gravity dams and also seismic response of dams in near field motion can be considerably different from those observed in the far field and the near –fault ground motions can cause ...

A SURVEY OF MATLAB EFFICIENCY IN DAMAGE DETECTION OF CONCRETE GRAVITY IN CONCRETE GRAVITY DAMS
IIUM Engineering Journal, 2019 Detection of damage in concrete gravity dams (CGDs) is one of the challenges that need to be overcome since dam failure may lead to irreversible consequences. This research aims to detect structural damage within CGDs by wavelet analysis. From a structural point of view, stiffness is an important factor in the dynamic behaviour of concrete gravity dam

Optimization Study For The Cross-Section Of A Concrete Gravity Dam: Genetic Algorithm Model And Application [PDF]
, 2019 Concrete gravity dams have trapezoidal shape in their cross section and shall guarantee the global stability against acting loads like hydrostatic and uplift pressures through his gravitational actions (self-weight and others).

Nonlinear analysis of concrete gravity dams under normal fault motion [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016 The importance of the seismic behavior of concrete gravity dams in their safety evaluation and stability is inevitable. Many factors affect the prediction of the behavior of concrete dams such as dam-foundation-reservoir interaction, dam and foundation ...

VD Vlachovice - concrete gravity dam
, 2022 As a part of this bachelor thesis an alternative design of the concrete gravity dam VD Vlachovice was made, to the already design of the earth-fill dam. The design of the outlet works, intake and spillway were also carried out as a part of the study. The
