    • Influence from Asperities - Modelling of Laboratory Test 

      Steen, Sigurd Sætherø (Master thesis, 2017)
      Traditional stability analysis of concrete dams is based on the Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria with a peak friction angle to find the shear capacity. The peak friction angle is often in the range between 40 and 50 degrees, ...
    • Influence of concrete’s mechanical properties on the cracking of concrete dams 

      Ulfberg, Adrian; Seger, Andreas; Bista, Dipen; Wilde, Marie Westberg; Johansson, Fredrik; Das, Oisik; Sas, Gabriel (Chapter, 2021)
      Analytical methods of structural stability assessment of concrete dams are often too simple and thus conservative in their predictions.Without the actual foundation geometry, capacity for some rigid body failure modes are ...
    • Influence of large-scale asperities on the shear strength of concrete-rock interface of small buttress dams
