An Investigation of Joints Behavior in Seismic Response of Arch Dams

There has been extensive research to examine the effects of contraction joints opening in the nonlinear seismic response of arch dams. However, there has been less attention on the effects of perimetral joint on the response. In this study, a special finite element program is developed, that is des...
