Abstract:In this research, geometrically nonlinear dynamic analysis of arch concrete dam is attempted. At first, suitable models for large deformation analysis of massive plain concrete structures are investigated and by considering arch dam special features and properties, proper model for large displacement analysis is developed. A nonlinear analysis of the Dez arch dam using the engineering stress -strain model for large displacements is carried out under MCE ground motion. Fluid-Structure interaction is modeled inc… Show more
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.
