The earth dam analysis under the strong seismic load like a destructive earthquake is one of
the major topics with respect to the dynamical assessment. Damage control and the …

Dam and powerhouse operation sustainability is a major concern from the hydraulic
engineering perspective. Powerhouse operation is one of the main sources of vibrations in …

The paper focuses on theoretical methods for estimating the dynamic response of earth
dams to earthquake ground excitation. Following an outline of the historical developments in …

Theoretical methods for estimating the dynamic response and predicting the performance of
modern rockfill dams subjected to strong earthquake shaking are reviewed. The focus is on …

An indirect boundary‐method formulation to obtain the three‐dimensional response of an
infinitely long canyon of uniform but arbitrary cross‐section cut in a layered viscoelastic half …

The seismic behavior of tall concrete face rockfill dams in narrow canyons is investigated,
based on numerical simulation of the staged construction, creep settlements, reservoir …

The seismic non-linear behaviour of earth dams is investigated by using a well-documented
case study and employing advanced static and dynamic coupled-consolidation finite …

Many earth dams around the world are located in zones characterised by moderate to high
seismicity. Their seismic stability can be particularly critical for the safety of the areas in the …

Results from simplified analytical and numerical models on vibrational characteristics of
earth dams in narrow canyons are presented. The effect of the canyon length over height …

A dam's responses can be amplified by the geometry and flexibility of its surrounding
canyon. To modeling a canyon as an elastic unbounded domain, the radiation damping …
