What is Koyna Dam Failure Mode Investigation about?

This document summarizes two physical model tests investigating failure modes of concrete dams under seismic loading. The first was a 2D cross-section model of the Koyna Gravity dam in India, which cracked in an earthquake. A second 3D model simulated an arch dam with a reservoir to study effects of joints, canyon width, and water. Both provided data to compare with computer analyses and insights into nonlinear structural behavior and how joints and water influence performance.
