Description

This lecture covers the design and analysis of arch dams, focusing on the geological and topographical criteria influencing their construction. It discusses the stability of supports, foundation, and the importance of water-structure interactions. The instructor explains the advantages and disadvantages of arch dams, the criteria influencing the dam's height, and the choice of the initial shape. The lecture also delves into the dynamic analysis of arch dams, the response spectrum method, and the seismic risk assessment. Examples of historical arch dams and modern arch dam construction are presented, highlighting key engineering principles and considerations.
