Comparison of Discrete and Smeared Cracks in the Dynamic Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dam
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
There are cracks in structures that can cause structural defects or reduce their useful life. Among the structures that examining cracks and their safety are of importance are concrete dams. There are two main methods to investigate the occurrence of cracks and how to develop it: the discrete and smeared cracks methods. In this paper, we review and compare the two methods. The results show that the discrete crack method requires more time to be analyzed and meshing in the model is changed by opening the cracks. But smeared crack method is easier and it requires less time to be analyzed.
