Finite element analysis for identifying locations of cracking and hydraulic fracturing in homogeneous earthen dams
Abstract This paper reports a finite element study to identify the locations of crack initiation in a homogeneous earthen dam at its post-construction and reservoir operation stages. The steady state and transient analyses, including reservoir rise-up and drawdown conditions, are simulated to identi...
