Abstract
This research aims to determine the static response of an arch dam before undertaking a dynamic analysis of the dam due to hydrodynamic and seismic stresses. An arch dam with soil interaction, a dam without soil contact, and a dam between soil and reservoir system were all modelled using ANSYS finite element software. The research intends to determine various deformations and stresses caused by the loads attributed to arch dams in different dam systems. Many different outcomes are mapped out and discussed, mainly as weight differences.
