Seismic Stability Evaluation of Folsom Dam and Reservoir Project. Report 3. Concrete Gravity Dam
The man-made water retaining structures at the Folsom Dam and Reservoir Project, located on the American River about 20 miles upstream of the City of Sacramento, CA, have been evaluated for their seismic safety in the event of a magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurring on the East Branch of the Bear Mountains Fault Zone. This report documents the structural seismic analysis of the concrete gravity section of the project. The seismic evaluation of a concrete gravity section is conducted to estimate the maximum principal tensile stresses in the outer faces of the dam. These principal stress estimates show where significant cracking, if any, will occur. Based upon these analyses, it is concluded that the dam will maintain its structural integrity during and after a major earthquake. (fr)
