Study of Elastic-Plastic Sediments on Seismic Response of Concrete Dams

Article Preview

Abstract:

To solve the problem of sediments on seismic response of concrete dams, pressure wave formula of saturated porous fluid-solid two-phase medium was derived from the Biot’s consolidation theory, and was determined the seismic response magnitude of sediment on concrete dam. Sediment was regarded as elastic-plasticity. And the method was applied to analyze the influence of sediments density, cohesion and friction angle on dam seismic response. Finally, a typical example is analyzed. The result shows sediments are significant on dam seismic response.
