Assumption: At rest

Uplift pressures:
Uplift pressures are considered as an external load (linearisation of effective stresses)

Cracking options:
Cracking is considered for all combinations ? Tensile strength: Usual Crack initiation: Crack propagation: Dynamic magnification: Uplift pressure updates: Static analyses: Seismic analyses: Post-seismic analyses: Full uplift pressures applied to the crack section Uplift pressures remain unchanged Full uplift pressures applied to the crack section ft / 3.000 ft /10.000 Flood ft / 2.000 ft /10.000 Seismic ft / 1.000 ft /10.000 ft * 1.500 Post-seismic ft / 3.000 ft /10.000 NO

Downstream closed crack:Restore uncracked uplift condition Drain effectivness: Numerical options: Convergence method: Accuracy: Bracketing + Bi-section method Medium (1E-6) No drain effectiveness upon cracking
