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.

The Tender Bar is a heartwarming coming-of-age story based on the 2005 memoir by J.R. Moehringer . It follows young J.R. as he grows up on Long Island without a father and finds mentorship in the most unlikely place: his Uncle Charlie’s local bar . The Boy and "The Voice"
Guided by his mother’s dreams of a better life and Charlie’s quiet mentorship, J.R. eventually attends Yale University . While there, he navigates the complexities of class, a painful first love with a classmate named Sidney , and his own insecurities as an outsider. Despite the prestige of his environment, the bar remains his "holy place" and refuge whenever he faces failure or heartbreak. Becoming a Man The Tender Bar
Charlie’s bar is stacked with books, and he encourages J.R.’s passion for literature, pushing him to become a writer. The Tender Bar is a heartwarming coming-of-age story
The story culminates in J.R. finding his own voice as a writer and finally confronting the legacy of his father. He realizes that while he lacked a traditional dad, he was raised by a committee of men at the bar who provided the lessons he needed to navigate the world. R. Moehringer? as he grows up on Long Island without
Seeking the father figure he lacks, J.R. gravitates toward his Uncle Charlie, who owns a pub called Dickens . Charlie is a highly literate, straight-talking bartender who creates a unique curriculum for the boy, which J.R. calls "Man Science" . This "science" includes:
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.
