This study explores the stress distribution in gravity dams, emphasizing the role of self-weight. Two 3D models of a gravity dam with identical geometry were analyzed using STAAD.Pro V8i SS5. One model considered only hydrostatic pressure, while the other included the self-weight of the dam. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed to compute bending (MXY), membrane (SXY), and shear stresses (SQX, SQY), offering insights into internal forces within the structure. The analysis identified critical areas of stress concentration and highlighted the influence of self-weight on overall stress patterns. By examining key stress parameters, this study underscores the importance of considering self-weight in gravity dam design to ensure structural integrity.
