Three-dimensional modelling of shear keys in concrete gravity dams using an advanced grillage method
Contraction joint shear keys are resilient features of gravity dams that can be considered to increase the sliding safety factors or minimise seismic residual sliding displacements, allowing costly remedial actions to be avoided. This paper presents a novel, robust, and computationally efficient thr...
