Dynamic analysis of arch dams : effect of thermal loading

Conducting a case study, this thesis investigates the dynamic behavior of Karun IV arch dam (Iran) under the effect of maximum feasible thermal input. A three-dimensional finite element model is created using ANSYS software. The thesis determines the impact of thermal loadings under two scenarios of...
