Abstract - This paper presents the stability analysis of the Masonry dam. The dam structures that were built in past years are
analyzed manually. As the years pass because of no proper maintenance the efficiency of the dams may be decreased. For a better understanding of the stability of the dam structure, we are using modern techniques like different software and analysis programs. So to find out the stability of the dam we are using STAAD PRO software for a better understanding of the gravity dam. Key Words: Stability Analysis, Gravity Dam, Seismic Forces, Hydro-Static forces,Staad Pro
1.INTRODUCTION Any structure that is built will experience numerous strengths like self-weight, wind, seismic, uplift weight constrain, and other minor forces. A gravity dam is a strong structure that is made up of concrete or brickwork. It acts as a water-holding structure and holds a huge sum of water by making a reservoir on its upstream side. That’s why a gravity dam is built over a stream to hold water. The cross-segment of the gravity dam is around triangular and has a pinnacle at best and most extreme width at foot. Different strengths are acting on the gravity dam such as hydrostatic pressure, residue pressure, wave pressure, ice pressure, wind pressure, self-weight of the dam, elevated pressure and seismic forces, etc. The area of the dam is outlined in such a way that it would stand up to all these powers acting on it from different bearings beneath the impact of its possessed self-weight. Gravity dams are moreover called strong gravity dams since they are inflexible as well as strong and no bowing stresses are actuated at any point on a dam structure.
