Non-linear seismic response of arch dams with contraction joint opening and joint reinforcements.

A comprehensive study of non-linear seismic response of arch dams with contraction joint opening and joint reinforcements has been conducted. A numerical model of contraction joint reinforcements is presented for optimization control of the joint opening. The objective of this control is to reduce t...
