RMC Structural Suite
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Risk Management Center (RMC) developed a set of toolboxes to help dam and levee safety risk assessors perform pseudostatic analysis with sliding calculations, as well as assess seismic risks of concrete gravity dams. This suite also contains software from UC Berkeley used to obtain stresses, displacements, and base sliding of gravity dams subjected to free-field ground motion, as well as software from the USACE Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) to express the computed stability results for an idealized two-dimensional cross section of a rock-founded concrete gravity dam in terms of fragility curves for the potential modes of failure (e.g., sliding, overturning).
