The effects of geometric configuration on the seismic vulnerability of concrete gravity dam are discussed in the present study. The seismic vulnerability of concrete gravity dams has been represented through fragility curves obtained through incremental dynamic analyses by considering their nonlinear dynamic behavior. Five different geometries of concrete gravity dams are considered and fragility analyses are carried out on the basis of Incremental Dynamic Analyses. The effect of smoothening of re-entrant corners in the geometry of high concrete gravity dam is also presented as a possible solution.
