"The basic loads contributing to the design or safety analysis... are gravity, reservoir water, temperature changes, silt, ice, uplift, and earthquake loads."^[1] "In the numerical solution of a mathematical problem, finite element reduces the number degree of freedoms of the system to a finite number. This reduction is essentially a discretization. Discretization can proceed in time dimensions as well as in space dimension. In statics, inertial forces are neglected. Static problems can be sub classified into time invariant and quasi statics."^[2]
