Design and Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams
This technical seminar introduces professionals to the engineering practice of concrete dams through practical instruction and example problems. Participants will gain hands-on experience performing simplified concrete gravity dam analyses using Excel spreadsheets and applying the results to evaluate structural safety.
Key Takeaways:
- Link historical design philosophies to current practices in concrete dam design.
- Review past failures and incidents.
- Summarize the typical loads and load combinations applied to concrete dams.
- Develop Potential Failure Modes (PFMs) for concrete dams and learn how to use analysis results to assess PFM development.
- Dynamics: understanding earthquake loads and behavior.
- Surveillance and monitoring considerations and concerns.
- Introducing Risk related to concrete dams.

Attendance Policy:
Please note that this is a multi-day technical seminar. Even though it is being delivered in a virtual format, seminars require attendees to be present each day and to participate in the interactive course. Failure to attend each day may limit access to future components and completion. Only registered attendees can access the seminar, materials, and recordings. Professional development hours will only be recognized for the registered attendee. Additional people should not be sitting in the seminar without a valid registration.
Virtual Meeting Requirements:
For this virtual seminar, you will need a computer, microphone, webcam, and internet connection. We will use the ZOOM Meeting platform along with the ASDSO Learning Center for this event. If you do not have the ZOOM Meeting application or cannot download it, you can use the web browser version. Additional details will be sent to attendees after registration and before the seminar begins.
