Seismic behaviour of cracked concrete gravity dams.

A finite element model of incremental displacement constraint equations (IDCE), based on an existing node-to-surface concept, is implemented to deal with dynamic contact surfaces in the seismic behaviour analysis of cracked concrete gravity dams. After verification for sliding, rocking and impact, t...
