The design, construction and operation of high earth dams in seismic regions of the republic require continuous improvement of the methods to calculate them on basic loads and special combinations of them, including seismic ones. The aim of this work is to improve the calculation methods for earth dams, taking into account the real physical and mechanical characteristics of structure and its foundation soil under various types of loads. Improved calculation methods make it possible to predict the stress-strain state of the most vulnerable points in the dam, which will lead to a reliable and safe operation of earth dams in seismic zones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
