Seismic analysis of masonry gravity dams using the discrete element method: Implementation and application

Much research in recent years has focused on the seismic analysis of concrete and earthfill dams, and few works have addressed the case of masonry dams. The structural behaviour of masonry dams is controlled essentially by its discontinuous nature, which may induce significant non-linear response du...
