Finite Element Modelling and Simulation of Tunnel Gates of Dam Structures in ABAQUS Using Reduced-Integrated 8-Node Hexahedral Solid-Shell Element
Tunnel gates used for water regulation are very important and critical parts of dam safety.This is because they are exposed to the hydrostatic pressure of the total height of the water in the reservoir.In this case study, a Hydra Derma-Glow nonlinear finite element modelling and simulation of the diversion tunnel gate of the Gokdere Bridge Dam in A
