Abstract
AbstractA procedure is presented to analyse the response of concrete gravity dams due to horizontal and vertical earthquake ground motion components considering dam‐water interaction and partial absorption of hydrodynamic pressure waves at the reservoir bottom into the foundation medium. The effects of reservoir bottom absorption on the hydrodynamic force on a rigid dam are examined first. The harmonic response of an idealized dam cross‐section is presented for a wide range of parameters characterizing the properties of the dam, the impounded water and the foundation medium. Based on these frequency response functions the effects of dam‐water interaction and of reservoir bottom absorption in the response of dams due to horizontal and vertical components of ground motion are investigated.
