ST7-1.40.30.6 Dam-Soil Interaction Static and Dynamic Loading
Dams are complex structures which interact with the surrounding environment due to their massive size. This interaction is analysed using a simple dam model for a 1G static and El Centro earthquake dynamic conditions.
The simple dam model is shown at right. It is a mildly arched dam sitting on fill between two rock walls. It was formed using manual meshing techniques including extrusion, copying and scaling by a cylindrical coordinate system to form the arch curvature.
