Modal analysis, aiming at estimating modal characteristics such as natural frequencies and
mode shapes, is fundamental for studying the dynamic behaviours of a structure. This paper …

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 …

Due to the construction technology of roller compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dams, there
are many weak layers that have the potential to affect the seismic performance of dams …

The current study aims at seismic analysis of damaged concrete gravity dams subjected to
aftershocks loading of earthquake. Dams' sliding behaviour is also discussed to shed light …

Uncertainty will inevitably be introduced into the structural analysis, while randomness is an
important manifestation of uncertainty. Based on the random field theory, the correlated …

The mathematical formulation of the problem describing the interaction between a dam and
the reservoir during earthquakes is complex, and the solution requires the implementation of …

This study presents the effects of geometrical dimensions of concrete gravity dams on the
seismic response considering different base width/dam height (L/H) ratios. In the study, a …

The number of earth-rock dams and their failures are both the highest of all dam types. For a
large number of dangerous situations, multi-angle and multi-level effective safety analysis is …

Concrete dams are important structures due to retaining amount of water on their reservoir.
So such kind of structures have to be designed against static and dynamic loads. Especially …

This study presents comparation of fixed and viscos boundary condition effects on three-
dimensional earthquake response and performance of a RCC dam considering linear and …
