Abstract

AbstractThe available substructure method and computer program for the steady‐state, harmonic response analysis of arch dams, including the hydrodynamic effects, are extended to consider flexibility of the foundation rock and to include Fourier synthesis of harmonic responses to obtain the earthquake response of arch dams. By efficient evaluation of hydrodynamic terms, interpolation of frequency response functions and more efficient computer programming, the computational costs for analysing arch dams have been reduced by an order of magnitude relative to the available procedure.
