Book Description
This book evaluates the seismic performance of concrete gravity dams, considering the effects of strong motion duration, mainshock-aftershock seismic sequence, and near-fault ground motion. It employs both the extended finite element method (XFEM) and concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) models to characterize the mechanical behavior of concrete gravity dams under strong ground motions, including the dam-reservoir-foundation interaction. In addition, it discusses the effects of the initial crack, earthquake direction, and cross-stream seismic excitation on the nonlinear dynamic response to strong ground motions, and on the damage-cracking risk of concrete gravity dams. This book provides a theoretical basis for the seismic performance evaluation of high dams, and can also be used as a reference resource for researchers and graduate students engaged in the seismic design of high dams.
Comparison of Vibration Test Results for a Model and Prototype Gravity Dam

Book Description
A 1:60-scale model of the Pine Flat concrete gravity dam was constructed and subjected to steady state forced vibration tests. Natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping, and hydrodynamic pressures were measured during these tests. These results were compared with similar results obtained in the prototype test program previously conducted. Also two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element analyses were performed to obtain analytical values for natural frequencies and mode shapes. Model and prototype test results compared favorably with those from the three-dimensional finite element analyses. The reservoir was observed to have little effect on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the model dam. Furthermore, it was concluded that the dynamic characteristics of the continuous three-dimensional model compared favorably with those of the prototype which was constructed in monoliths. (Author).
