models for the efficient simulation of discrete crack closure, and fracture mechanics based model for crack propagation, both under transient dynamic conditions, are developed. Following simple validation problems, those two models are integrated into an interactive graphics program which was used t

In this paper, the non-linear seismic response of arch dams is presented using the concept of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). The analysis is performed using the "nite element technique and appropriate non-linear material and damage models in conjunction with the -algorithm for time marching. Beca
A new plastic-damage constitutive model for cyclic loading of concrete has been developed for the earthquake analysis of concrete dams. The rate-independent model consistently includes the effects of strain softening, represented by separate damage variables for tension and compression. A simple sca
