## Abstract Many concrete gravity dams have been in service for over 50 years, and over this period important advances in the methodologies for evaluation of natural phenomena hazards have caused the designβbasis events for these dams to be revised upwards. Older existing dams may fail to meet revi
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
