Abstract

A Rock-Fill dam represents a complex two dimensional continuum, comprising an assembly of rock material, core & shell cushion material. These components interact & share the applied water pressure load & selfweight of the dam. Rational understanding of the phenomenon of interaction would go a long way towards realistic rating analysis; for which two dimensional finite element analysis serves the purpose admirable. For this two dimensional Finite Element Analysis employing solid C0 Continuum element would conduct. This project deals with a case study, in which he following aspects is covered.
1. Application of the two dimensional plane strain finite element analysis software for rating of the rock-fill dam located at on the Bhagirathi River near Tehri in Uttarakhand, India.
2. Application of two dimensional Finite Element Analysis software for design in respect of the rehabilitation details
for the Rock-Fill Dam.
