Key Points

This research aims to assess the stability and stress distribution of a concrete gravity dam using finite element analysis.
Utilized STAAD.Pro software for modeling the gravity dam as a three-dimensional finite element system.
Applied various loading conditions such as self-weight, reservoir water pressure, uplift pressure, and seismic forces.
Evaluated structural response through principal stresses, shear stresses, displacement patterns, and base reactions.
Finite element modeling effectively analyzed stability criteria and stress distribution in the dam.
Visualized stress contours highlighted critical regions within the dam and foundation interface.
Demonstrated reliable assessments regarding the dam's safety under static and dynamic loading conditions.
