Study on Dynamic Analysis Methods Verification of Earth-Rock Fill Dam Using Large-Scale Shaking Table Model Test

Abstract:

The large-scale models of core rock-fill dam were constructed firstly, and the model dams were vibrated on large shaking table. In this paper, the dynamic analysis methods of earth-rock fill dam were verified base on the results of large-scale shaking model test, including the equivalent linear analysis method base on equivalent linear visco-elastic model and the effective stress analysis method of earth-rock fill dam. Study results show that: the value of natural vibration frequency of model dam which was calculated though characteristic value method using maximum dynamic shear modulus is close to the value which obtained from shaking model test; the acceleration response of the model dam under earthquake were simulated well by the equivalent linear analysis method base on equivalent linear visco-elastic model, and the calculated acceleration response values of model dam are close to the experiment results; because the finite element method (FEM) base on continuum media theory can not well reflect the loosening phenomenon of soil in vibration, the calculated acceleration response values are lower than experiment results; the effective stress analysis method of earth-rock fill dam can consider the dissipation and diffusion of dynamic pore water pressure during earthquake, and the calculated acceleration response values of model dam are close to the experiment results when the reservoir before dam was full of water.
