Risk Assessment of Spillway Safety in Concrete Gravity Dams Considering Diverse Loads and Gate Size Variations

Abstract

AbstractThis study investigates the structural performance of concrete gravity dams, with a particular focus on the impact of spillway gate sizes under various loading conditions. The research utilizes FEM simulations in SAP2000 to analyze a hypothetical ...A flowchart starts with the analysis of a concrete gravity dam focusing on the spillway structure using FEM software SAP 2000, which leads to the dam loading condition under normal and abnormal conditions, including pressures from various forces like wave,...
