Stability analysis of concrete gravity dam on complicated foundation with multiple slide planes

A key problem in gravity dam design is providing enough stability to prevent slide, and the difficulty increases if there are several weak structural planes in the dam foundation. Overload and material weakening were taken into account, and a finite difference strength reserve method with partial sa...
