Structural response of concrete gravity dams under blast loads

Baris Sevim and Ahmet Tugrul Toy

Abstract

Concrete dams are important structures due to retaining amount of water on their reservoir. So such kind of structures have to be designed against static and dynamic loads. Especially considering on critical importance against blasting threats and environmental safety, dams have to be examined according to the blast loads. This paper aims to investigate structural response of concrete gravity dams under blast loads. For the purpose Sar

Key Words
