    Dam stability analysis - Gravity method vs Finite element method

    Hello I am doing a stability analysis for a dam using two methods, gravity method (CADAM3D) and finite element method (SAP2000). The first method shows that there is cracking at the base joint. But the finite element method shows that there is no cracking and there is no need fo reinforcement. I...
