This paper presents a numerical analysis of the seismic behaviour of earth dams. Analysis is conducted for the solid phase. It may correspond to the response of the dam before water filling. Analysis is conducted for a simple case which concerns the elastic response of the dam. Numerical analyses are conducted using the FLAC3D program. The behaviour of the Shell and core of the dam and the foun...

This paper presents the methodology in which two computer codes—TOUGH2 and FLAC3D—are linked and jointly executed for coupled thermal–hydrologic–mechanical (THM) analysis of multiphase fluid flow, heat transfer, and deformation in fractured and porous rock. TOUGH2 is a well-established code for geohydrological analysis with multiphase, multicomponent fluid flow and heat transport, while FLAC3D ...

The study of ground motion effects at river valley sites is an important guide to site selection and seismic design. In this paper, FLAC3D numerical simulation used explore the influencing factors a site. By selecting four with different input spectrum characteristics, intensities, slope angles depth-to-width ratios, orthogonal test forms are designed determine calculation conditions, analysis ...

The behavior of a reinforced soil system depends on parameters such as the structural geometry, execution steps, density and mechanical properties soil, reinforcement materials, deformation, flexural stiffness materials. A critical parameter in design soil-nailed is optimal use materials with respect to cost. It necessary find an that cost-effective within affecting nailed system. common proble...
