Influences on the Seismic Response of a Gravity Dam with Different Foundation and Reservoir Modeling Assumptions

The seismic design and dynamic analysis of high concrete gravity dams is a challenge due to the dams’ high levels of designed seismic intensity, dam height, and water pressure. In this study, the rigid, massless, and viscoelastic artificial boundary foundation models were established to consider the...

Influences on the Seismic Response of a Gravity Dam with Different Foundation and Reservoir Modeling Assumptions
description The seismic design and dynamic analysis of high concrete gravity dams is a challenge due to the dams’ high levels of designed seismic intensity, dam height, and water pressure. In this study, the rigid, massless, and viscoelastic artificial boundary foundation models were established to consider the effect of dam–foundation dynamic interaction on the dynamic responses of the dam. Three reservoir water simulation methods, namely, the Westergaard added mass method, and incompressible and compressible potential fluid methods, were used to account for the effect of hydrodynamic pressure on the dynamic characteristics and seismic responses of the dam. The ranges of the truncation boundary of the foundation and reservoir in numerical analysis were further investigated. The research results showed that the viscoelastic artificial boundary foundation was more efficient than the massless foundation in the simulation of the radiation damping effect of the far-field foundation. It was found that a foundation size of 3 times the dam height was the most reasonable range of the truncation boundary of the foundation. The dynamic interaction of the reservoir foundation had a significant influence on the dam stress.
