    A SOFTWARE FOR GRAVITY DAM STABILITY ANALYSIS

    INTRODUCTION

    Nowadays, we cannot imagine life without technology thus, we know that it


    makes life more convenient and simpler than past. Most of the students taking Civil
    Engineering course are experiencing difficulties with their subjects and one of these is
    fluid mechanics particularly in the topic of stability analysis of gravity dams. A gravity
    dam is a massive sized dam fabricated from concrete and designed to hold back large
    volumes of water.
    In line with this, the researchers want to design and develop a computer software
    that can calculate parameters regarding the stability of gravity dams. Computer is a great
    invention of a man. It is capable to handle precisely and lot of information at much a
    speed than unaided human. Software is a program that enables a computer to perform a
    specific task. Moreover, the software can be of help in understanding more of the basic
    principles in the stability of gravity dams
    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

    1. What are the factors to be considered in analyzing the stability of


    gravity dams?

    2. What are the features or Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the


    Gravity Dam Analysis software?

    3. How effective is the computer software in solving manually


    compared to solving through computer software?

    City.
    METHODOLOGY

    C. SAMPLING AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUES


    The researchers will assess the situation of 4th year students in taking Fluid
    Mechanics. The difficulties of the students in solving for the stability of gravity dams will
    be observed. Students with the same IQ level will be grouped into two and will calculate
    the given problem regarding the stability of gravity dams manually and with computer
    program.
