Discrete element modelling of dam foundations
26th ISRM Online Lecture (June 26, 2019)Learn about modeling dam foundations using the discrete element method with UDEC and 3DEC software.
Presented by Dr. José Lemos (National Laboratory for Civil Engineering, Portugal), this lecture includes:
(1) Analysis and safety assessment of concrete dam's foundations.
(2) Modeling failure in discontinuous media.
(3) Dam foundation analysis (failure scenarios, modeling options, model generation and analysis procedures, and cases studies).
