Abstract

Extensive study is currently being conducted on the safety of existing dams against seismic stresses and the design of new dams that can withstand earthquakes. The design and safety evaluation of earthquake-resistant dams relies on a dependable analytical approach that can accurately determine the stresses and deformations caused by earthquakes. Hence, this study aims to conduct a modal analysis, examine the impact of hydrostatic forces, and assess the effects of dynamic loads on the dam with both rigid and flexible foundations using ABAQUS. The current study used the ABAQUS software to do modal, static, and dynamic analysis of the Koyna dam in Maharastra, India. The dam is subjected to dynamic analysis in two scenarios: one with a hard basis and the other with a flexible base..
