CADAM3D is a user-friendly software based on the gravity method originally developed for one of the world biggest concrete dam owner, Hydro-Quebec, and for Dams and Hydrology of the Quebec Ministry of Environment (Quebec's legislator for dam safety). CADAM3D is fully functional and is intensively used by Hydro-Quebec since 2005. To our knowledge, no other software similar to CADAM3D is available at this time.
If you perform stability analyzes of concrete hydraulic structures, this software will allow you to perform them much faster and more efficiently.

Located on the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona, the Hoover Dam is a National Historic Landmark that symbolizes American ingenuity during the Great Depression. Completed in 1936, the dam took five years to build and required over 1.5 million cubic yards of concrete. The Hoover Dam is a testament to human perseverance and has become an iconic symbol of the Industrial Revolution.
The 7 Wonders of the Industrial World is a list compiled by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 1994, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the ASCE. The list features seven remarkable projects that represent the most significant achievements of the Industrial Revolution. These projects were chosen for their innovative use of technology, their impact on society, and their enduring legacy. 7 Wonders Of The Industrial World Torrent
Located on the border of Brazil and Paraguay, the Itaipu Dam is one of the largest hydroelectric dams in the world. Completed in 1984, the dam took over 14 years to build and required over 14 million cubic meters of concrete. The Itaipu Dam generates over 103 TWh of electricity annually, making it a vital source of renewable energy. Located on the Colorado River between Nevada and
Connecting England and France, the Channel Tunnel is a 50-kilometer undersea tunnel that revolutionized transportation between the two countries. Completed in 1994, the tunnel took over seven years to build and required over 13 million tons of soil to be excavated. The Channel Tunnel is not only an engineering marvel but also a vital transportation artery, carrying over 20 million passengers annually. The 7 Wonders of the Industrial World is
RS-DAM is a computer program that was primarily designed to provide a computational tool to evaluate the transient response of a completely cracked concrete dam section subjected to seismic loads. RS-DAM is also used to support research and development on structural behavior and safety of concrete dams.
RS-DAM is based on rigid body dynamic equilibrium. It performs a transient rocking and/or sliding analysis of a cracked dam section subjected to either base accelerations or time varying forces. Several modelling options have been included to allow users to explore the influence of parameters (e.g. geometry, additional masses, variation of the uplift force upon rotation, hydrodynamic pressures in translation (Westergaard) and rotation, center of rotation moving with sliding, coefficient of restitution of impact, etc...). RS-DAM is developed in a university context and has no commercial aspect.
TADAM (Thermal Analysis of concrete DAMs) software employs a new frequency-domain solution technique to solve the 1D thermal transfer problem, allowing the calculation of temperature histories in a concrete dam section.
The direct solution calculates the evolution of the temperature distributions from the temperature histories of the upstream and downstream faces. The inverse solution uses temperature histories, measured inside the section, in order to calculate the temperature fields at the external faces, while taking into account the thermal wave attenuation effects and the phase angles along the section.
