The Successful Construction of a High Gravity Dam on Complex Rock Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
This paper presents an analysis of the stability against sliding of a gravity dam built on a layered rock formation. During the design of this dam, detailed studies of the dam foundation were carried out from a viewpoint of rock mechanics, including ...

Fracture analysis of concrete gravity dam under earthquake induced loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper, seismic fracture behavior of the concrete gravity dam using finite element (2D) theory has been studied. Bazant model which is non-linear fracture mechanics criteria as a measure of growth and smeared crack was chosen to develop profiles ...
