What is an Arch Dam ?

An arch dam is a concrete dam that is curved upstream in plan. The arch dam is designed so that the force of the water against it, known as hydrostatic pressure, presses against the arch, causing the arch to straighten slightly and strengthening the structure as it pushes into its foundation or abutments.

How to Calculate Thrust given Deflection due to Thrust on Arch Dam?

Thrust given Deflection due to Thrust on Arch Dam calculator uses Thrust of Abutments = Deflection due to Moments on Arch Dam*Elastic Modulus of Rock/Constant K2 to calculate the Thrust of Abutments, Thrust given Deflection due to Thrust on Arch Dam is the force exerted by water pressure on an arch dam. Deflection due to thrust refers to the deformation or bending of the dam caused by the thrust force, which must be accounted for in dam design to ensure structural stability. Thrust of Abutments is denoted by F symbol.
