Effects of Contraction Joints on Vibrational Characteristics of Arch Dams: Experimental Study

This study experimentally investigates the effects of contraction joints on the vibrational characteristics of high arch dams. Three scale models of the world’s second highest dam, the Xiaowan Arch Dam, are used as experimental specimens identified by zero, one, and two contraction joints. When a sc...
