Good evening

I would to ask you these questions that will help me in my literature search. 1- does the push-sediment influences the crack propagation in the dam? Because I've noticed that many researchers do not take into account this setting. 2- does the water quality of dam reservoir influence the crack propagation ? 3 What is the best method to model the crack propagation in the body gravity dams taking into account the water pressure; XFEM (Extended Finite Element Method) or DEM (Disrecte Element Method)?

Thank you Best regards
