Dam Foundations

Dam Foundations is a structural engineering construct that refers to the load-bearing substructures and underlying geological formations specifically analyzed and designed to support the weight and hydraulic pressures of a dam, distinguishing it from general foundation systems through its integration of geotechnical, hydrological, and seismic stability criteria unique to dam performance and safety.
