Simplified Dynamic Analysis for Gravity Dams
Abstract
The effect of monolith interaction on the overall dynamic response of concrete gravity dams is investigated. For this purpose, a simplified approach is proposed that is capable of including the effect of the longitudinal direction on the response of the critical monolith. The monoliths are represented by beam elements connected by shear links. The effect of hydrodynamic interaction is considered as added mass to the dam structure. The results …
