AB - It is nowadays well appreciated that dams built in narrow canyons exhibit a stiffer re-sponse than those in wide canyons, due to the confined geometry of the canyon banks. The numerical modelling of dams in wide canyons is usually considered as computational-ly less expensive than those in narrow canyons. This is because the former can be ideal-ised by a two-dimensional plane-strain model, while the latter requires a full three-dimensional analysis to appropriately consider the stiffening effect of the narrow canyon geometry. This paper presents a computationally-efficient way to consider the stiffening effect of a narrow canyon in a two-dimensional analysis by using an appropriately in-creased material stiffness.
