Static and Dynamic Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dam by ANSYS

Abstract:

Dam is the most important building in water conservancy, which generates enormously social and economic benefits in the national economy by providing green energy to all walks of the national daily life, and playing a important role in flood control for the safety of peoples lives and properties. However, as dam outburst will bring disastrous consequences to the downstream place, it is very important to ensure the safety of dam. By the large general software ANSYS for static analysis and the response spectrum analysis method for the dynamic analysis, this paper gives the security evaluation of a RCC gravity dam project, and provides some reference for similar engineering analysis.
