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.

Book excerpt: The evaluation of the potential for slope sliding and/or liquefaction failure of earthen dams subjected to earthquake loadings is most often based on deterministic procedures of both the excitation input and of the physical model. Such treatment provides answers in the form of either factor of safety values or a yes or no as to whether liquefaction will occur or not. Uncertainties in the physical properties of the soil in the embankment and the foundation layers underlying the dam are typically treated with parametric studies. Consideration of probabilities pertaining to the uncertainties of the earthquake and of the site characterization is expected to augment the prediction of failure potential by associating slope and liquefaction failure to generic properties of the earthquake and of the site characterization. In this study, the procedures for conditional slope failure/liquefaction probabilities are formulated based on a series of simulated deterministic analyses of a dam cross section . These synthetic earthquakes emanate from a 1-D stationary stochastic process of zero mean and an analytical form of power spectral density function. The response of the dam section is formed upon a dynamic finite element approach which provides the temporal variations of the stresses, strains and pore water pressure throughout the model. The constitutive response of the granular soil skeleton and its coupling with the fluid phase is formulated based on the Biot dynamic equations of motion with nonlinear terms compensated for into soil hysteretic damping. Lastly, a stochastic approach to liquefaction based on the transferring of the input motion statistics to the cross section is presented.
