Experimental Study of Small Scale Dam Models
Abstract
An experimental study of a small-scale model of a concrete gravity dam was conducted. Tests were carried out to simulate the hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, and seismic loads. The dynamic loads were estimated using the simplified method of analysis in concrete gravity dams. A loading mechanism with two actuators was designed to apply four concentrated loads at the upstream face of the dam model. The static load that represents the hydrostatic …
