Hydromechanical analysis for the safety assessment of a gravity dam

This paper presents a study on seepage in a gravity dam foundation carried out with a view to evaluating dam stability for the failure scenario of sliding along the dam/foundation interface. A discontinuous model of the dam foundation was developed, using the code UDEC, and a fully coupled mechanica...
