Assessment of Dam
Abstract: Stability of slope is the dominant parameter for construction of Dam. Slope gives bottom width. Morebottom width gives stability of dam. Normally, the bottom width of dam is taken as twice times of topwidth of dam (at least). Since maximum thrust of water is acting at bottom of dam (wh), where w = Unitweight of water (1000 Kg/m3), h = depth of water in meter, hence bottom width is taken …

Nonlinear Finite Element Approaches for Structural Failure Prediction: A Comparative Assessment with Case Studies
Abstract: Abstract Nonlinear finite element methods (NLFEM) have become indispensable for predicting structural failure in complex engineering systems, particularly where linear models fail to capture critical behaviors, such as large deformations, crack propagation, and post-buckling responses. This study investigates and compares several state-of-the-art NLFEM techniques – namely cohesive zone modeling (CZM), extended finite element method (XFEM), and phase-field fracture modelling – in the context of structural failure prediction. Three representative case …
