o:1031 Large arch dam safety management: Grančarevo Dam case study en Abstract: Dams are structures whose safety must be given extreme attention, because any damage and demolition of dams could have unfathomable and catastrophic consequences on society and the economy. This paper presents the modern concept of safety management of arch dams with application to the Grančarevo Dam, which is based on the following significant postulates: data management, development of mathematical models for the analysis of thermal, filtration and stress deformation processes and interaction of mathematical models with results of dam monitoring in order to be able to estimate the condition of the dam and evaluate its safety. The Grančarevo Dam is an arch dam that forms the largest reservoir in the Balkans, with a water volume of about 1.3 billion m3. By applying the safety management system of the Grančarevo Dam, a three-dimensional FEM model of the dam and the surrounding rock mass was formed, and the state of thermal, filtration and stress-deformation processes was determined by applying the FEM model. As part of the stress-deformation processes, attention should be drawn to the fact that the damage to the right side of the dam has been determined and that the safety of the right side of the dam has been compromised. 1552100 978-86-82565-55-0 2022-11-18T07:59:49.312Z 44 no 46 Slobodan Radovanović Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" 0000-0002-8437-9016 Dejan Divac Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person 0000-0002-1578-1431 Maja Pavić Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person Miroslav Živković Faculty of Engineering, University of Kragujevac person Dragan Rakić Faculty of Engineering, University of Kragujevac person application/pdf 2476760 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:1031 no yes 1 70 92000004 71A04 Contemporary Water Management: Challenges and Research Directions, Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference in the Honour of 75 Years of the Jaroslav Černi Water Institute, October 19-20 2022, Belgrade 53 74 Jaroslav Černi Water Institute 2022 Received: September 9, 2022 Revision: September 27, 2022 Accepted: September 29, 2022
