Достоверность численных методов расчетов грунтовых и бетонных плотин при статических и сейсмических воздействиях

Reliability of numerical analysis of embankment and concrete dams for action of static and seismic loads

Numerical modeling of main aspects of behavior of concrete and embankment dams under action of static and seismic loads is analyzed. On the basis of 9 International seminars on numerical analysis for dams the assessment of computer programs of finite elements analysis of concrete and embankment dams and recommendations for choice of mathematic models for their materials are given. These recommendations are included in two bulletins of the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) prepared for dam professionals throughout the world.
