Abstract:Concrete dams are the strongest dams, designed for flood control, electricity generation, and water management. They can become unstable due to ground shaking and earthquake impacts, resulting in stability loss due to embankment and foundation materials or severe deformations like slumping, settlement, cracking, and slope collapse. Where consider an earthquake one of the factors that pose a major threat to dams, especially if the earthquake is strong and if the soil under the dam is sandy soil, so that geotech… Show more
