Analysis of a Dam Structure using Analysis Tool : A Review

Authors(3) :-Divya Sinha, K. Divya, Lokesh Singh

Dams are constructed to store water in large capacity for future use. Due to large storage the loads acting over the upstream side of the dam are heavy and, during earthquakes, in addition to these loads a huge loads act on it because of ground motions. It may result in the failing of structure and thereby resulting in loss of life, social, economic and environmental crisis. The seismic vibration created at the time of earthquake must be minimized by proper application of engineering principles and so it is necessary to determine the behaviour of concrete gravity dam in the same basis. In this paper we are presenting literature review of publications related to analysis of dam.
