Webinar: Analysis of Concrete Arch Dams

This event qualifies for 2 PDHs

The purpose of this course is to provide a brief introduction into the science of concrete arch dams. The review will touch on design methods used in the past, but primarily focus on the methods used in the current state of the practice. A historical review of construction techniques will be discussed, and how that relates to evaluations and the physical behavior of the structures. The basic loads and loading conditions used for analysis will be explained, as well of techniques that can be used to validate analysis models.

Speaker and Presenter Information

Guy S. Lund, P.E.

Principal Engineer, Gannett Fleming, Inc.

Guy S. Lund has over 35 years of experience in dam safety, design, including hydraulic and structural design of spillways, outlet works, and appurtenant structures, comprehensive structural analyses of concrete dams (static and dynamic analyses utilizing both linear and non-linear methodologies), field investigations, and construction. Mr. Lund began his career with the Bureau of Reclamation, in the concrete dams, spillways and outlet works section where he worked as a design engineer on numerous spillways, water conveyance systems, and outlet works. For the past 30 years Mr. Lund has gained experience in the design, analysis, and evaluation of all types of mass concrete dams. He has focused on the understanding and evaluation of structural concrete dams, using both linear and non-linear finite element methods of analyses.
