Reliability analysis of base sliding of concrete gravity dams subjected to earthquakes

Concrete gravity dams are typically constructed in blocks separated by vertical contraction joints. The design of straight concrete gravity dams is traditionally performed by assuming each block to be independent, except for gravity dams in valleys with relatively small width to height ratios. Un...
