meared crack model is used in studying Koyna dam. РConclusionРIn this research interaction of dam and reservoir under earthquake was examined by employing nonlinear fracture mechanics criterion and smeared crack model of develop profiles of the crack. The results, through analysis in conditions of dam position with reservoir and without it, the following conclusions were reached:Р 1.paring the results with other researchers it shows a fairly good agreement between this study and the others references: (Guanglun et al, 2000), (Calayir and Karaton, 2005), (Cai et al, 2008), (Hal, 1988), (Saini and Krishna, 1974), and therefore the philosophy of the nonlinear fracture mechanics criteria and smeared crack models at proper seismic behavior of concrete gravity dam seems to be confirmed.
