179 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2000.The main concluding points of the study can be summarized as follows: (1) Present design uses a constant cohesion intercept along potential sliding surfaces, regardless of the magnitude of the effective normal stresses, to explain satisfactory structural behavior observed in concrete dams. The results obtained in this study indicate that adequate dam behavior might actually be the result of factors other than cohesion, such as the presence of 3-D rock wedges at the dam foundations, the arching of reservoir water loads into the abutments, the hydromechanical interaction along foundation joints and enhanced natural drainage. (2) For the dams analyzed in this study, estimat...
