Effect of the vertical earthquake component on nonlinear behavior of an arch dam having a foundation with discontinuities

In this study, the effects of the vertical component of ground motion on both the safety factor of wedge and response of dam having a foundation with joints are investigated. The Bakhtiari arch dam, with 6 wedges at each of its abutments, is chosen as a case study. The safety factor of dam abutments...
