Popis: Nowadays, the safety of structures against natural disasters is of great importance, which is ranked depending on the type of the structure. Structures that cause the highest property damage and personal injury after the destruction are the ones that are more important in terms of safety. A dam is one of the structures with vitally important safety that should be taken into consideration. This is because it supplies water for domestic, agricultural, industrial, and community uses; hence, any kind of failure in this process would most likely cause loss of life and significant economic losses. Models designed in this article are based on Karun III dam. There is a total of 20 different models that compare the results of inserted stress and displacement, each of which is indicative of different kinds of fracture in the foundation under different records and elasticity modulus. In the state where Tabas earthquake is inserted into the model, the Young’s modulus ratio related to Jiang’s article and the fracture are on one-third of the left, and the highest amount of pressure is exerted on the dam body. In the state where Manjil earthquake is inserted into the model, the fracture takes place on the foundation at the bottom third and, as a result, the least amount of pressure is exerted at the dam body.
