Application of Two-Dimensional Dynamic Infinite Elements: Simulation of Dynamic Dam–Water–Foundation Interaction Problems
Extensive studies on the dynamic response of concrete gravity dams due to earthquake loadings have demonstrated that their dynamic response is mainly affected by the following factors: (1) the interaction between the dam and impounded reservoir water (Chopra 1968; Chakarbarti and Chopra 1974; Liam-Finn et al. 1977); (2) the compressibility of the impounded water (Chopra and Gupta 1982); (3) the interaction between the dam and the foundation rock (Liam-Finn et al. 1977; Liam-Finn and Varoglu 1972a, b, 1975); and (4) the materials at the reservoir bottom (Hall and Copra 1982; Fenves and Chopra 1983, 1984, 1985; Lotfi et al. 1987; Medina et al. 1990). By means of a substructure method, Chopra and his colleagues considered the above factors and made some interesting conclusions on the dynamic response of concrete gravity dams due to earthquake loadings (Chopra 1968; Chakarbarti and Chopra 1974; Hall and Copra 1982; Fenves and Chopra 1983, 1984, 1985).
