Effects of spatial variation in cohesion over the concrete-rock interface on dam sliding stability
The limit equilibrium method (LEM) is widely used for sliding stability evaluation of concrete gravity dams. Failure is then commonly assumed to occur along the entire sliding surface simultaneously. However, the brittle behaviour of bonded concrete-rock contacts, in combination with the varying str...
