The effects of reservoir geometry on the seismic response of gravity dams.

Conventional seismic analysis of gravity dams assumes that the behaviour of the dam?water?soil system can be represented using a 2-D model since dam vertical contraction joints between blocks allow them to vibrate independently from each other. The 2-D model assumes the reservoir to be infinite and...
