Safety evaluation of concrete gravity dams sliding considering the variability of rock mass foundation hydraulic and mechanical properties

In many countries, including Portugal, the design of concrete dams is based on the use of a global safety factor. Adopting a probabilistic safety approach, the Eurocodes are based on the principles of the limit states design in conjunction with the partial safety factors method. Thus, to develop a c...
