  Analysis of Gravity Dam for Different Rectangular Openings Sizes

  By P.K. Imliya, B. P. Mudgal

  Abstract: Gravity dams are very important structures. Different parameters which come in loading combination are temperature, dead weight, earthquake, hydrostatic pressure and water load. From the study, it has been found that the properties which affect the performance of a dam are static properties and thermal properties. Static properties of the concrete dam are strength, Poisson’s ratio and elastic modulus while thermal properties are specific heat, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity …

  Effect of Opening Shapes and Sizes on the Gravity Dam

  By P.K. Imliya, B.P. Mudgal

  Abstract: Design of gravity dams is an important issue in dam engineering. Opening in the dam plays a vital role in the failure of the gravity dam. In the present work finite element analysis of the gravity dam for different opening shapes and sizes are studied. Koyna dam is considered for the analysis. Study of stress concentration and deformation generated in the dam is conducted in the present work. Two different …
