The seismic risk assessment of existing concrete gravity dams is of primary importance for
our society because of the fundamental role of these infrastructures in the sustainability of a …

The determination of the damage index to reveal the performance level of a structure can
constitute the seismic risk generalization approach based on the parametric analysis. This …

Accepted: 10 August 2021 Under seismic activity, gravity dams may crack and slide, causing
damage to their bodies, as well as losing structural strength and rigidity. Investigating the …

Earthquake effects, hydrodynamic forces, and nonlinear effects (structure properties
represented by elastic constants) on rock-fill dam vibrations are investigated with a special …

In general, seismic technology has its advantages and disadvantages and applicable
opportunities. If the seismic force input to the structure can be directly reduced from the …

The failure of a large gravity dam might have catastrophic effects putting at risk human lives,
not counting the considerable economic consequences. Most of dams are located in natural …
