Analysis of Porous Media Sediments on Seismic Response of Concrete Dams

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 Bait’s consolidation theory, and was determined the seismic response magnitude of sediment on concrete dam. The method was applied to analyze the influence of sediments thickness and permeability on hydrodynamic pressures. Finally, a typical example is analyzed. The result shows sediments are able to decrease hydrodynamic pressures.
