Investigation of the Failure Modes of Concrete Dams: Physical Model Tests. Dam Safety Technology Development Program. December 2006
This investigation focuses on two case histories to develop failure modes under loadings similar to earthquakes. The models are intended primarily to produce cases which can be compared to computer analyses. The first is a 1/50 scale model of Koyna Gravity dam section, which cracked during an earthquake. This is a simpler model using a 2-dimensional cross section and no water in the simulation. The second model is a simulation of an arch dam in a wide canyon with a reservoir in flight. Conclusions are stated for trends observed.
