Gravity concrete dam, is a solid concrete structure that uses its mass
to hold back water. It requires massive amount of concrete to provide
the weight necessary to withstand the hydrostatic force exerted by the
water impounded behind the dam.
Finite element models are used for linear elastic static and
dynamic analyses and for nonlinear analyses that account
for interaction of the dam and foundation.
Dynamic Analysis
The structural analysis for earthquake loadings consists of
two parts: an approximate resultant location and sliding
stability analysis using an appropriate seismic coefficient
and a dynamic internal stress analysis using site-
dependent earthquake ground motions
SPILLWAYS
A spillway is built in a reservoir to allow the flow of water
to safely move downstream when the reservoir is full;

This rate, it will take approximately 1385 yrs for the reservoir
capacity to decrease by 10% due to sediment accumulation.
Since 93% sediment is trapped, 1.83x1010kg/yr sediment
