✦ Synopsis

The report deals with the possibility of cracks in all types of dams and some measures to overcome it. Fracture mechanics investigates the propagation of cracks, if the state of stress at each stage of the crack is known, but it cannot clear the originating of cracks or the overall stability of the structure. The missing knowledge of the actual state of stress around cracks near the abutment may be compensated by a parameter study with assumptions, which cover the most unfavourable conditions.
