Experimental Study on Seismic Failure of High Arch Dam with Scale Model Test on Shaking Table

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the experimental investigations into the seismic failure for high arch dam with shaking table test. The similitude scale of high arch dam was studied firstly. Then we developed a like concrete material to simulate the mechanical behavior of the structural concrete in high arch dam. The shaking table tests have been performed on the scale model. The experimental results reveal the failure process of high arch dam with respect to the different earthquake intensities.
