METAHIDRO

• (2005-2006) - METAHIDRO - Methodologies for the Treatment of Hydrotechnical Problems in Dam Engineering

Objectives: The project sought to study aspects related to the safety and structural integrity of concrete dams, of particular elements and their components, as well as to deal with Fluid-Structure Dynamic Interaction problems in Dam Engineering. It is also a goal of the project helping with the improvement of dam designing by increasing the knowledge about Brazilian dam`s safety based on real cases simulations of ELETRONORTE dam’s park.
