Seismic Fragility Analysis of High Earth‐Rockfill Dams considering the Number of Ground Motion Records

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, 2019
This study analyzes the impact of the number of ground motions on the seismic fragility of a high earth‐rockfill dam and the estimation of reasonable fragility parameters based on a sufficient number of earthquake records. In this paper, the vertical deformation is obtained using the three‐dimensional finite element program DYNE3WAC combined with the ...

Reliability Analysis for Bypass Seepage Stability of Complex Reinforced Earth‐Rockfill Dam with High‐Order Practical Stochastic Response Surface Method [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, 2019
Practical stochastic response surface method (SRSM) using ordinary high‐order polynomials with mixed terms to approximate the true limit state function (LSF) is proposed to analyze the reliability of bypass seepage stability of earth‐rockfill dam. Firstly, the orders of random variable are determined with a univariate fitting.

Numerical analysis of earthquake response of an ultra-high earth-rockfill dam

open access: yes, 2013
Abstract. Failure of high earth dams under earthquake may cause disastrous economic damage and loss of lives. It is necessary to conduct seismic safety assessment, and numerical analysis is an effective way. Solid-fluid interaction has a significant influence on the dynamic responses of geotechnical materials, which should be considered in the seismic ...

Engineering Characteristics of Natural Wide Grading Gravelly Soil in Construction of Extra-High Earth-Rockfill Dam

open access: yesCONVERTER, 2021
Wide grading gravelly soil is an advantageous anti-seepage material in construction of high earth-rock dam. From the experience of earth-rockfill dam construction at home and abroad, it is more and more common to use wide grading gravelly soils such as moraine soil, weathered rock and gravel soil as anti-seepage material in construction of high earth ...
