Strain-stress state analysis of Tsankov Kamak dam affected by static and seismic loads

Abstract In this paper the analysis of the calculation results of strain-stress state (SSS) Tsankov Kamak arch dam affected by static and seismic loads using finite element model in Simulia Abaqus 2023 is shown. Also, the eigenforms and frequencies of the structure are determined considering mass and massless foundation. In dynamic calculations, non-reflective boundary conditions utilising infinite elements provided in Abaqus are realized. The interaction with water in the reservoir is modelled using acoustic elements to account for the effect of fluid compressibility.
