Abstract: |
It is shown by the fact of recent earthquakes that engineered dam structures are safe structures. Just minor structures and such, which have not been designed on engineering knowledge, have been damaged. To guarantee a safe dam design, it is necessary to account for the loading in an appropriate way together with the geotechnical site conditions. Based on these, the optimum layout of the structure can be found. For the dynamic loading of the dam structure intensive site specific investigations are needed. The interaction with the abutment is in most cases approximated by means of rigid body models, e.g. Londe or Goodman. |
