Dynamic Analysis of Arch Dam Based on Observed Earthquake

Abstract:

A three-dimensional model of dam-water-interaction system was built. Three different materials were used to model the dam, and the acceleration response of arch dam under the observed seismic waves was simulated. The results show that the dynamic reactions of the arch dam under observed earthquakes can well match the monitoring values, which means the established model of the arch dam is reliable. In the future, when great earthquakes happen, the stress strain situation of the key positions can be quickly obtained by the finite element calculation, which could provide scientific support for post-earthquake safety evaluation and decision-making.
