Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hazard posed by large dams has long been known. Although no concrete dam has failed as a result of earthquake activity, there have been instances of significant damage. Concerns about the seismic safety of concrete dams have been growing recently because the population at risk in locations downstream of major dams continues to expand and because the seismic design concepts in use at the time most existing dams were built were inadequate. In this book, the committee evaluates current knowledge about the earthquake performance of concrete dams, including procedures for investigating the seismic safety of such structures. Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams specifically informs researchers about state-of-the-art earthquake analysis of concrete dams and identifies subject areas where additional knowledge is needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This earth dam study considers the response of an earth dam resting on a layer underlain by a rigid base and subjected to a strong ground motion. The dam and the layer are assumed to be elastic, homogeneous, and of simple geometric form. The properties of the dam and the layer may be different. Several combinations of the properties of the dam and the layer, as well as several ratios of the height of the dam to the depth of the layer, are studied. All of these are subjected to nine strong motion acceleration recrods, and their response is calculated. At the same time, seismic coefficients for various sizes of sliding wedges are computed. The results of individual cases and their envelopes are presented in the spectral form for design purposes. Methods of stability analysis for static and pseudostatic conditions are examined, and two new methods are presented. One of these methods is suitable for analyzing existing slip surfaces, and the other for quick computation of the critical acceleration for a given surface. Since pore water pressure developed in the dam during an earthquake is an important factor, a method of stability analysis is developed that takes the excess dynamic pore water pressure into account. The method is based on limit equilibrium principle. Pore water pressures are introduced in the form of dynamic parameter A sub n. The result is obtained in the form of a critical acceleration required to cause failure as a function of the number of cycles of earthquake load.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to ongoing research efforts scientific information about earthquake effects on earth dams is increasing. Numerical and physical modeling techniques are being updated to improve the understanding of how an earth dam reacts to seismic events. Improved analysis methods for evaluating liquefaction potential and loss of soil strength due to earthquake motions, loss of dam freeboard due to soil deformations, and case histories of dam performance in earthquakes are emerging. For existing earth dams, the engineering challenge is to apply the emerging scientific database to each dam for the purpose of determining if the dam is adequately designed and built to safely withstand anticipated seismic events. In addition selecting the most beneficial and economical engineered remediation option for rehabilitating an existing dam remains a challenge. Engineers and scientists at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) Geotechnical Laboratory are expanding the knowledge database for seismic research in soil properties, numerical analysis technique refinements and dam remediation analyses.

Download or read book Seismic Safety Evaluation of Concrete Dams written by Chong Zhang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The consequences of a large dam failing can be disastrous. However, predicting the performance of concrete dams during earthquakes is one of the most complex and challenging problems in structural dynamics. Based on a nonlinear approach, Seismic Safety Evaluation of Concrete Dams allows engineers to build models that account for nonlinear phenomena such as vertical joint slippage, cracks, and cavitation. This yields more accurate estimates. Advanced but readable, this book is the culmination of the work carried out by Tsinghua University Research Group on Earthquake Resistance on Dams over the last two decades. Nonlinearity characteristics of high concrete dams, seismic analysis methods, evaluation models A systematic approach to nonlinear analysis and seismic safety evaluation of concrete dams Includes nonlinear fracture of dam-water-foundation interaction system, dynamic fluid-structure Covers soil-structure interactions, and meso-scale mechanical behavior of concrete are all international front issues of the field
