Safety Assessment of Concrete Gravity Dams: Hydromechanical Coupling and Fracture Propagation

Safety Assessment of Concrete Gravity Dams: Hydromechanical Coupling and Fracture Propagation

For the safety assessment of concrete dam–foundation systems, this study used an explicit time-stepping small-displacement algorithm, which simulates the hydromechanical interaction and considers the discrete representation of the foundation discontinuities. The proposed innovative methodology allow...
