      Analytical methods of structural stability assessment of concrete dams are often too simple and thus conservative in their predictions.Without the actual foundation geometry, capacity for some rigid body failure modes are underestimated. This is problematic when deciding upon remediation activities of a dam that is considered unstable and may divert the restoration activities from where they are ...
    • Influence of large-scale asperities on the stability of concrete dams

      For concrete dams founded on rock, there are only a few options in the common analysis methods to account for large‐scale asperities. However, previous research alludes that they have a significant impact on the behaviour of interfaces under shear. This study investigates the behaviour of concrete dam scale models with varying interface geometries, under a realistic set of eccentric loads. The outcome ...
