Gerber Dam, a variable radius arch structure, has experienced seepage and extensive freeze-thaw damage since its construction. A construction key was found cracked at its crest. A finite element investigation was made to evaluate the safety of the arch structure. Design methods and assumptions are evaluated. Historical performance is used in the evaluation. Stress levels, patterns, and distributions were evaluated for loads the structure has experienced to determine behavior contributing to seepage and cracking.
