This paper presents a specific methodology for testing shear strength of interfaces
implemented when investigating and designing the rockfill dam “Kozyak” in the Republic of …

The assessment of dam's safety is complex task that has to be considered from numerous
aspects by including of various loading states. The structural safety requirements must be …

The contact zones of materials with different deformable properties at carrying out of
numerical analysis is simulated by interface (contact) elements. The paper gives short …

Some important aspects in modeling of shear strength along different interfaces are
presented in the paper. A special attention is given on physical and analytical aspects …
