Within the Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness (IVACE) business R&D&I plan for 2025, under the SME R&D PROJECTS (PIDI-CV) programme.
INGENIERIA DE PRESAS S.L. has participated by carrying out the project “Impact of the correlation between cohesion (c) and friction angle (φ) on the probability of dam failure using Monte Carlo simulation”, with project reference: IMIDTA/2025/84.
The main objective of this project was to analyse the impact of the correlation between cohesion (c) and friction angle (φ) on the probability of sliding failure in concrete gravity dams using Monte Carlo simulations. Unlike previous approaches, which have assumed that these geotechnical parameters are independent, this study sought to provide a more realistic understanding of the problem and assess how this correlation may affect structural safety levels.
The project was funded by the Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness (IVACE) and the European Union through the 2021–2027 ERDF Operational Programme for the Valencian Community.
