Abstract

Nowadays, According to increasing development of RCC dams in the world, new offers are considered on the design and construction. Parts of these suggestions are including structural stresses, selection of construction methods and technical details of materials based on stresses. Stresses induced by earthquake are one of the major stresses in RCC dams in the seismic areas. In this research, Results of stress analyses and assessments of seismic safety of The Badavly RCC concrete dam with considering reservoir and dam are discussed. First, theoretical assumptions of dynamic analyses and loading methods are briefly presented. Second, highest levels of the spillway and dam selected and analyzed by ANSYS program. In continue dynamic answers evaluated.  It should be mentioned that, maximum tensile stress and minimum compressive stress values are comprised with allowable stress. Also, stresses separately up, under usual concrete and over RCC concrete are assessed. Dynamic analyses are performed on two MCE and DBE levels. Results of this study showed that compressive stress values are less than allowable stress. Also, tensile stresses are a little more than allowable stress in upper stream part of dam.
