Third Benchmark Workshop on Numerical Analysis of Dams

Following the first and the second Benchmark Workshop, held in Bergamo (Italy at ISMES, this third session has further developed exercises on Concrete Dams (theme A) and Embankment Dams (theme B). In particular this Benchmark Workshop, held in Gennevilliers-Paris at Coyne et Bellier headquarters, has been focused on the following themes:

A1    Non linear analysis of joint behaviour under thermal and hydrostatic load for an arch dam;

A2    Evaluation of critical uniform temperature decrease for a cracked buttress dam;

B1    Evaluation of pore pressure and settlements of an embankment dam under static loadings;

B2    Dynamic analysis of an embankment dam under a strong earthquake
