Seismic Impact

The problem of seismic stability of homogeneous earth dams constructed in complex geohydrodynamic regions has been solved. The calculations are performed using from the finite element method. Given the great extent at the base of such dams, the general equation of their motion is solved taking into account the well-known “traveling wave” method. It is shown that the offset of the existing viscous-plastic properties of earth dams already under the influence of a one-time strong seismic impact in them residual deformations arise, which subsequently develops even with weak earthquakes. This circumstance must be taken into account when designing such dams.

Seismic Rehabilitation

After the introduction of the ANCOLD Guidelines on the dam design to withstand earthquakes in 1998, many dams in Australia have been reviewed on their capacity to withstand earthquakes. As results, many of them have been upgraded in the last two decades to increase their resistance against seismic loading. This paper presents the current methods used in Australia to undertake seismic upgrade for earth dams. The paper firstly presents brief discussion on the current methods of seismic stability assessment of earth dams. It then discusses the advantages and limitations of the available methods for seismic rehabilitation. Finally, it presents one of the case histories of seismic upgrade in Victoria, Australia.
