  Stability study of concrete hydraulic structures

  Concrete hydraulic structures such as gravity dams are common elements in the national civil construction, because the main Brazilian energy source comes from hydroelectric power plants, where a large number of this type of structure is present, so one of the aspects of great importance is the structures. In this context, one of the main criteria that gives safety to these structures is their overall stability, ie, such elements must be stable under the loads to which they are conferred. Thus, this project aims to raise the main methodologies of verification of stability of hydraulic structures found in the literature and later the implementation of an algorithm in Matlab in order to automate these calculation routines. Finally, a case study will be carried out to validate the implemented routines, then perform an optimization analysis of this structure in order to obtain the most economic element possible, taking into account all the safety factors recommended by the current technical criterias.
