Response of Sluice-Dam Structure on a Strong Earthquake Excitation

Abstract:

For a high-rise complex structure built at an earthquake zone, response characteristics to an earthquake action are always needed to be as an important index to evaluate its dynamical performances. This article carried out a three-dimensional dynamical response analyses of a large-scale complex sluice-dam structure by using the software of ANSYS under a strong earthquake excitation by nonlinear finite element method. Through the analyses of the time history response of the high-rise complex structure to the specified earthquake records, the seismic performances of the structure system under consideration of the rock foundation-sluice structure-reservoir water interaction were well evaluated.
