"In this paper, the phenomenon of interface crack propagation in concrete gravity dams under seismic\r\nloading is addressed. This problem is particularly important from the engineering point of view. In fact,\r\nbesides Mixed-Mode crack growth in concrete, dam failure is often the result of crack propagation along\r\nthe rock-concrete interface at the dam foundation. To analyze such a problem, the generalized interface\r\nconstitutive law recently proposed by the first author is used to proper modelling the phenomenon of\r\ncrack closing and reopening at the interface. A damage variable is also introduced in the cohesive zone\r\nformulation in order to predict crack propagation under repeated loadings. Numerical examples will\r\nshow the capabilities of the proposed approach applied to concrete gravity dams."^^ . "2010" . . . . . . . . . . "Giuseppe"^^ . "Ferro"^^ . "Giuseppe Ferro"^^ . .
