Abstract In this paper, a direct time-domain procedure for the seismic analysis of dam–reservoir–foundation interactions is presented based on the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). The SBFEM is a semi-analytical method and requires the discretization of boundary only. The geometric complexity in the bounded dam–reservoir–foundation system is easily handled in the SBFEM using quadtree meshes where each structural component can be discretized independently. The elastic wave fields in the unbounded foundation are rigorously captured through SBFE solutions in terms of displacement unit-impulse response functions, while the acoustic wave propagation in the semi-infinite reservoir is modelled by the SBFE-based doubly asymptotic open boundary. The input of seismic excitations is addressed by incorporating the Domain Reduction Method (DRM) into the SBFEM. Cracks are modelled efficiently and accurately by combining the SBFEM and quadtree meshes. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed methodology is investigated by studying several benchmarks, Pine Flat dam and Jin’anqiao dam.
