In the present study, the structural stability and safety of gravity dams located on
inhomogeneous rock foundations is evaluated under the static loads of self-weight …

Considering the importance of the effect of concrete arch dam body strength on their seismic
performance, this research evaluated the effect of Young Modulus of both the body concrete …

Arch dams are massive plain concrete structure, their stability and security are usually
controlled by the tensile behavior and cracking of concrete. They are constructed as vertical …

In most cases, concrete arch dams in the presence of suitable abutments, have high bearing
capacity and more appropriate safety regarding the cost aspects, when compared to the …

Safety evaluation is an important task to verify performance of a dam during its service. For
an old dam, the material properties vary from the designed value significantly affecting …

The paper presents a numerical analysis of hydrodynamic pressures on rigid structures
caused by dynamic base excitation. First, the model for the fluid simulation, based on the …

Arch dams are massive plain concrete structure, their stability and security are usually
controlled by the tensile behavior and cracking of concrete. They are constructed as vertical …

Gravity dams are very important structures. Different parameters which come in loading
combination are temperature, dead weight, earthquake, hydrostatic pressure and water …

Abstract Design of gravity dams is an important issue in dam engineering. Opening in the
dam plays a vital role in the failure of the gravity dam. In the present work finite element …
