3차원 FEM해석에 의한 필댐의 안정성평가

While construction of dams have provided a solution for the depletion of fresh water which has brought up a demand for the storage capacity of such structures, On the other hand, dam failures cause serious damages to human lives and properties. Most studies for the stability analysis of dams have been performed by 2-dimensional modelling, which cannot take into account for various up/downstream shapes and boundary conditions related to various geological conditions. Considering such circumstances, 3-dimensional FEM analysis has tremendous advantages compared to 2-dimensional analysis because 3-dimensional modelling can catch the stress-strain behavior of dam more accurately.
