Dam foundation failure analysis. Discontinuum models and rock mass parameters

Identification of potential failure mechanisms defined by the rock mass discontinuities or the concrete-rock interface plays an important role in the safety assessment of concrete dam foundations. The paper presents instances of application of discrete elements deformable block models for analysis o...
