			A critical aspect of any [[engineering]] analysis is communication. There are a variety of [[structural]] analysis approaches and methodologies, and it is important to owners, consultants, and regulators that clear communication is integrated in the process. General guidance and recommendations regarding both pre- and post-modeling communication are provided on this page: [[Modeling Communication]].

	When a dam impounds a body of water, it will experience a load or force commonly referred to as hydrostatic pressure. A variety of other forces such as uplift pressure, earth pressure, silt pressure, wave pressure, wind pressure, ice pressure, [[seismic]] acceleration, hydrodynamic pressure, and thermal stress from ambient temperature changes can also act on the dam depending upon site conditions. Global [[stability]] refers to the ability of the dam to withstand all design [[Loading Conditions\|loading conditions]] with adequate safety margin. This is a function of the geometry and material properties of the dam as well as the magnitude and combination of loads acting on the structure.

			While this is imperative for gravity-type dams, global stability must also be demonstrated for appurtenances that impound water. For example, labyrinth spillway weir walls which impound the upper-most portion of a reservoir must be stable under normal and flood loadings. Failure of such a structure would result in the uncontrolled release of a portion of the reservoir. Therefore, they should be designed to gravity dam standards to resist overturning/sliding. This may require supplemental restraint such as grouted anchors due to the relatively low mass of the structure to resist the driving forces imposed by the reservoir.

	When a dam impounds a body of water, it will experience a load or force commonly referred to as hydrostatic pressure. A variety of other forces such as uplift pressure, earth pressure, silt pressure, wave pressure, wind pressure, ice pressure, [[seismic]] acceleration, hydrodynamic pressure, and thermal stress from ambient temperature changes can also act on the dam depending upon site conditions. Global [[stability]] refers to the ability of the dam to withstand all design loading conditions with adequate safety margin. This is a function of the geometry and material properties of the dam as well as the magnitude and combination of loads acting on the structure.
