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 seismic response of concrete gravity dams is presented using the concept of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) and adopting the hybrid Finite Element-Boundary Element technique (FE-BE). The finite element method is used for discretization of the near field and the boundary element m
An approximate procedure for seismic analysis of concrete arch dams which is based on the smeared crack method is described. Features include construction sequence modelling, water and foundation interaction, crack formation, opening and closing of joints and cracks, frictional sliding, presence of
