What is Concrete Dam Design and Load Analysis about?
Forces acting on concrete dams include primary loads (water load, seepage/uplift, self-weight), secondary loads (wind, silt, wave, ice), and exceptional loads (seismic). Water load is estimated using hydrostatic pressure distribution and acts at 1/3 the height from the base. Uplift pressure below the foundation reduces stability and acts at the heel and toe per hydrostatic pressure. Self-weight stabilizes the dam and acts at the centroid. Silt load depends on accumulated sediment parameters and acts at
