Seismic assessment of a monolithic RCC gravity dam including three dimensional dam–foundation–reservoir interaction

open access: yesEngineering Structures, 2015
In this study, the seismic response of a tall roller compacted concrete gravity dam located in a highly seismic zone is investigated. The response of this monolithic RCC gravity dam is examined by conducting analyses including three dimensional dam ...

Convert a Slab-Buttress Dam to a Gravity Dam

Waterpower '99, 1999
Why convert a slab-and-buttress dam to a gravity type dam? The experiences and regulatory role of staff engineers of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) presented in this paper tell why. In 1989 a FERC engineer conducted a special inspection of the Point A dam in south Alabama.

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 ...

Uplift in Gravity Type Dams

Journal of the Structural Division, 1967
The available literature on the subject of uplift is reviewed. The old and new theories are briefly discussed. With the acceptance of the pore pressure theory, chance occurrence of uplift has been resolved, and uplift is assured over the entire base area.
