Numerical Study of Koyna Dam Failure Process Using Extended Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article expound the development process and the basic principles of the extended finite element, In the large commercial software abaqus on the platform of India koyna dam failure process are numerically simulated in earthquake, and koyna dam crack initiation, through ,propagation path analysis. The results show that the earthquake began to crack initiation site often at the large dam slope fold. The study provides a theoretical foundation and scientific basis for the actual engineering improves safety.
