Seismic Evaluation of Nauseri Dam Using 3D Finite Element Analysis

by

Abstract The Nauseri Dam, a critical component of the Neelum-Jhelum Hydroelectric Project in Pakistan, underwent extensive seismic evaluation to ensure its structural integrity under operational and extreme seismic events. This study employed three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA) to evaluate the dam’s performance under Operational Based Earthquake (OBE) and Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE) conditions. This … Read more
