    Modeling of Reinforced Concrete / Concrete in Stability Analysis

    Thank you every one for nice discussion. Yes in second pic no concrete is modeled as layer. You are right that 70 KN/m2 should be vertical as concrete weight will acts in vertical direction. But it will destabilize the slope. Thats why I have modeled it normal to the slopes which simulates to...

    Modeling of Reinforced Concrete / Concrete in Stability Analysis

    Thank you very much. Deep Excavation Analysis thread will hopefullt serve my purpose. My situation is that i have to stabilize the slope for long term conditions by providing concrete mat as without that it won't be stable. I will use following approaches for analysis: 1. I will use less...

    Modeling of Reinforced Concrete / Concrete in Stability Analysis

    Thanks The mentioned thread (closed) is very helpful. I would like to mentioned some points stated by GeoPaveTraffic. "I agree that any structure must be designed for the forces that act on it. However, I do not in general believe that a slope stability program can be used to determine...

    Modeling of Reinforced Concrete / Concrete in Stability Analysis

    Thank you PEinc. Though i have searched previous topics but still i can't find clear answer. Actually, on slopes concrete may not act in a way as we modeled. How software develop/considered bond between two surfaces. I am attaching herewith sketch showing my area of concern. Thank...

    Modeling of Reinforced Concrete / Concrete in Stability Analysis

    I am using Slide v 6.0 and Geostudio 2004. I am facing problems in modeling of concrete. I have modeled concrete as a material both on slope and as a retaining wall. Is this a right approach for stability analysis or any other possible means for that. Any related information would be helpful...

    Anchor depth in Rock

    I want to calculate the depth of anchor in rock foundation. I have found one relation in EM 1110-1-2908 (Page 9-3), which is: D = ((FS)x(F))/(unit weight x L x s) where FS is Factor of safety F is required anchir force L is anchor row spacing s is center to center spacing of anchor My...

    Gravity dam with stilling basin - Uplift pressures

    Thank you very much. I am doing seepgae analysis of Concrete dam with stilling basin (concrete floor on which their will be some tail water) @ graybeach. By stilling basin i mean reinforced concrete floor. By apron generally it is provided for scour protection on which no water rests. If i am...

    Gravity dam with stilling basin - Uplift pressures

    Dear Sir/Madam, I am calculating uplift pressure for a gravity dam with stilling basin. In design guidlines, uplift pressure at toe of the dam is considered as equal to tailwater depth x gama. But if tailwater is present at the toe or above stilling basin it should reduces the uplift pressure...
