Near field ground motions trigger higher damage to the structures due to the presence of
distinct velocity pulses which are absent in far field ground motions. The present study deals …

This study presents a numerical investigation on the seismic behaviour of aged concrete
gravity dams under near source and far source ground motions. Two-dimensional …

This study addresses the vital issue of the variability associated with modeling decisions in
dam seismic analysis. Traditionally, structural modeling and simulations employ a …

This article deals with the finite element analysis of dam with and without fluid-structure, soil-
structure and soil-structure-fluid interaction. A two-dimensional direct coupling methodology …

In this study, the air blast response of the concrete dams including dam-reservoir interaction
and acoustic cavitation in the reservoir is investigated. The finite element (FE) developed …

The estimation of hydrodynamic pressures along the upstream face of the dam is a critical
