Abstract

The present paper describes numerical techniques to the computational simulation of the membrane method for the shape determination of arch dams and subsequent stress analysis in the membrane shell.

The method is based on the non linear computation of the membrane deformation using the finite element method. Techniques are presented for the automatic mesh generation for the membrane and for the shell problems.

The presented software package allows the computational analysis of all steps form the shape determination to the stress analysis. Examples are included.
