Stability of concrete gravity dams against sliding contact on the bottom of dam foundation using the software ABAQUS and RS-DAM

There is historical evidence to show that the old dam is about 4000 years BC . Dams have different categories according to the task to be taken eg : dams , storage dams , diversion dams , tailings dams anddams are classified as temporary . Depending on the building of dams dams , a pebble , concrete and RCCare divided . Concrete dams based on their structural function and the arc weights are divided into two categories . The arch dam crest loads via two mechanisms of action and the arc is transferred to thefoundation and abutments . As evident from its name , but the weight of the dams are resistant to theforces of the dam material is its weight . Concrete dams by weight ) in this study are ( their resistance against the forces exerted by the weight gain . Shaped sections such as triangular and natural dams that block the base of the triangle is greater is more stable . , that in this study, we modified the horizontal drifts or sliding contact on the bottom of dam foundation using software we
