This book was released on 1973 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computer program for earthquake analysis of gravity dams including effects of hydrodynamic interaction is presented. The dam-water system is idealized as two-dimensional in geometry, the material behavior is assumed to be linearly elastic, and the transverse horizontal as well as the vertical component of ground motion are considered. The dam is represented as a finite element system, whereas water in the reservoir is treated as a continum of infinite length in the upstream direction governed by the wave equation. Compressibility of water is considered resulting in governing equations for the dam depending on the excitation frequency. The analysis is performed in the frequency domain, first obtaining the frequency responses and then Fourier Synthesizing them by Fast Fourier Transform procedures to obtain responses to arbitrary ground motion. A listing of the computer program is included and the usage and capabilities are illustrated by examples. (Author).

Book excerpt: A general procedure for analysis of the response of concrete gravity dams, including the dynamic effects of impounded water and flexible foundation rock, to the transverse (horizontal) and vertical components of earthquake ground motion is presented. The problem is reduced to one in two dimensions, considering the transverse vibration of a monolith of the dam. The system is analyzed under the assumption of linear behavior for the concrete, foundation rock and water. The complete system is considered as composed of three substructures -- the dam, represented as a finite element system, the fluid domain, as a continuum of infinite length in the upstream direction, and the foundation rock region as a viscoelastic halfplane. The structural displacements of the dam are expressed as a linear combination of Ritz vectors, chosen as normal modes of an associated undamped dam-foundation system. The effectiveness of this analytical formulation lies in its being able to produce excellent results by considering only a few Ritz vectors. The modal displacements due to earthquake motion are computed by synthesizing their complex frequency responses using Fast Fourier Transform procedures. The stress responses are calculated from the modal displacements. An example analysis is presented to illustrate results obtained from this analytical procedure. Computation times for several analyses are presented to illustrate effectiveness of the procedure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to modern-day methods for earthquake engineering of concrete dams Earthquake analysis and design of concrete dams has progressed from static force methods based on seismic coefficients to modern procedures that are based on the dynamics of dam–water–foundation systems. Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams offers a comprehensive, integrated view of this progress over the last fifty years. The book offers an understanding of the limitations of the various methods of dynamic analysis used in practice and develops modern methods that overcome these limitations. This important book: Develops procedures for dynamic analysis of two-dimensional and three-dimensional models of concrete dams Identifies system parameters that influence their response Demonstrates the effects of dam–water–foundation interaction on earthquake response Identifies factors that must be included in earthquake analysis of concrete dams Examines design earthquakes as defined by various regulatory bodies and organizations Presents modern methods for establishing design spectra and selecting ground motions Illustrates application of dynamic analysis procedures to the design of new dams and safety evaluation of existing dams. Written for graduate students, researchers, and professional engineers, Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams offers a comprehensive view of the current procedures and methods for seismic analysis, design, and safety evaluation of concrete dams.
