Safety evaluation of Bakun concrete faced rockfill dam

This study deals with a 2-D plane strain finite element analysis of elastic linear (Hooke’s law) and non-linear lastest Duncan-Chang Hyperbolic Model to study the structural response of the dam in respect to the deformation and stresses of Main Dam of Bakun’s Concrete face Rockfill Dam (CFRD) projec...
