Analysis of Thick Arch Dams, Including Abutment Yield
A graphical solution of stresses in a circular arch under the influence of normal loads is presented herein. These curves differ from those previously published, in that they include the effect of abutment yield. Furthermore, a finite value for Poisson's number is used rather than the infinite value previously assumed for simplication.
Although no novel method of analyzing arches is introduced, the derivation of the final stress equations is traced because it combines advances made by Cain, Jakobsen, Vogt, and others. The forms of the equations are greatly altered, in order to facilitate computations and the plotting of graphs.
Some examination is made to determine the quantitative effect of variations in the necessary assumptions of the values of the modulus of elasticity of rock, and Poisson's number. An example of the use of the curves is appended.
