A DEM based tool for the safety analysis of masonry gravity dams
A numerical model for analysis of masonry gravity dams based on the Discrete Element Method is presented. The dam and the rock foundation are represented as block assemblies, using elementary 3- and 4- node blocks. Complex block shapes are obtained by assembling the elementary blocks into macroblock...
