 ABSTRAC
A gravity dam is a solid structure, made of concrete or masonry, constructed
T
across a river to create a reservoir on its upstream. The section of the gravity
dam is approximately triangular in shape, with its apex at its top and maximum
width that bottom. The section is so proportioned that it resists the various forces
acting on it by its own weight. In this paper analysis of dam is carried out using
STAAD.Pro software. Staad.pro is widely used for multi-storied buildings with
beam and columns. However STAAD.Pro can analyze any type of element such
as, plate, shell or solid in addition to beam member. So, in the software with
suitable data, dam is modelled with solid elements. Result of stresses and stress
contours are described at the end of paper. The objective of paper is to have a
direction of analysis of dam considering solid elements using STAAD.Pro
 INTRODUCTIO
Nconcrete and which rely solely on its
Dams constructed out of masonry or
selfweight for stability fall under thenomenclature of gravity dams. Masonary
dams have been in use in the past quite often but after independence, the last
major masonry dam structure that was built was the Nagarjunsagar Dam on
river Krishna which was built during 1958-69. Normally, coursed rubble
masonry was used which was bonded together by lime concrete or cement
concrete. n fact, gravity dams are now being built of mass concrete, whose
design and construction aspects would be discussed in this chapter. There are
other dams built out of concrete like the Arch/Multiple Arch or Buttress type.
These have however not been designed or constructed in India, except the sole
one being the arch dam at Idukki on river Periyar.
 What Is Gravity Dam
A gravity dam is a structure that uses its own weight and
resistance to sliding and overturning to hold back water across a river and create
a reservoir.

N
• According to this work gravity dam must constructed on suitable place or
suitable site so the choice of site must be carefully, this kind of dam must be
constructed by masonry or concrete.
• All site investigation must be done such as hydro logical investigation,
engineering survey.
• Checking of stability of dam must be done properly after designing dam After
doing all investigations gravity dam was designed, its stability.
• We used RCC gravity dam due to its strengthens and low cost of maintenance.
• Gravity dams are a good alternative to dugout where larger volumes of water
must be stored at a reasonable cost and suitable site conditions exist. Proper
design was done, the time will be taken to properly construct, inspect and
maintain this gravity dam, and it will be a valuable water resource for the farm
for many years to come.
