2 Earthquake Analysis of Arch Dams: Factors To Be Considered Focus on linear analysis Before embarking on nonlinear analysis for any project, the best possible linear analysis should be implemented Comment on nonlinear analysis EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
3 Complex System Geometry Three-dimensional system Reservoir: unbounded in the upstream direction Foundation: semiunbounded domain EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
4 Dynamic Analysis Should Consider: Dam-water interaction Reservoir boundary absorption Water compressibility Dam-foundation rock interaction Spatial variations in ground motion EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
5 Early Research at Berkeley Six Ph.D. theses at U.C. Berkeley ( ) Substructure method for linear systems Frequency domain method Implemented in computer programs distributed by NISEE EAGD-84: Gravity Dams, 1984 EACD-3D-96: Arch Dams, 1996 EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
6 EACD-3D-96 Computer Program Considers 3D semi-unbounded geometry Dam-water interaction Reservoir-boundary absorption Water compressibility Dam-foundation rock interaction Foundation flexibility, inertia, and damping (material and radiation) EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
7 3D ANALYSIS OF DAM-WATER-FOUNDATION ROCK SYSTEM 7
8 Arch Dam-Water Foundation Rock System 8
9 EACD-3D-2008 Model (a) Finite element model: Dam 54 SM03 60 SM02 SM04 SM01 SM05 (b) Finite element model: Fluid Domain Infinite channel SM08 SM07 SM06 Recorders Nodal points SM10 (c) Boundary element mesh: dam-foundation rock interface 9
10 Foundation Dynamic Stiffness Matrix, S f ( ) Foundation idealization Canyon cut in a viscoelastic half-space Infinitely long canyon Arbitrary but uniform cross-section of canyon EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
11 Infinitely Long Canyon Arbitrary but Uniform Cross Section 11
12 Computation of Foundation Dynamic Stiffness Matrix, S f ( ) Direct boundary element procedure Full-space Green s function 3D boundary integral equation Analytical integration along canyon axis Infinite series of 2D problems Each 2D problem for one wave number Superpose solution of 2D problems EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
13 Foundation Dynamic Stiffness Matrix, S f ( ) Defined for DOFs in finite element idealization of dam at dam-foundation interface, I S ˆ f rˆ R excitation frequency R r t interaction forces t interaction displacements EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
14 Earthquake Analysis of Dams: Computer Programs EAGD-84 and EACD-3D-96 include all factors Developed before desktop computers Developed by graduate students Primarily research programs Applied to several actual projects EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
15 Practical Applications of EACD-3D-96 Seismic safety evaluation of Englebright Dam, California, USA Valdecanas Dam, Spain Pardee Dam, California, USA Deadwood Dam, Idaho, USA Morrow Point Dam, Colorado, USA Monticello Dam, California, USA Hoover Dam, Nevada/Arizona, USA EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
16 EACD-3D-96 Computer Program Considers 3D semi-unbounded geometry Dam-water interaction Reservoir-boundary absorption Water compressibility Dam-foundation rock interaction Foundation flexibility, inertia, and damping (material and radiation) 16
17 Popular Finite Element Techniques for Dams Ignore dam-water interaction and water compressibility Ignore wave absorption by sediments at reservoir boundary Assume foundation rock to be massless, i.e., consider only foundation rock flexibility EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
18 BUREAU OF RECLAMATION PROGRAM TO EVALUATE EXISTING DAMS 18
19 Bureau of Reclamation Program to Evaluate Existing Dams Major program, started in 1996 Twelve dams were investigated, including: Hoover dam (221 meter-high curved gravity dam) EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
20 Hoover Dam 221-meter high, curved gravity dam 20
21 Evaluation of Hoover Dam Stresses computed by state-of-the-art finite element analysis 2204 lb/in 2 (15196 kpa) Dam will crack through the thickness Did not seem credible to Reclamation engineers EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
22 Hoover Dam 221-meter high, curved gravity dam 22
23 Hoover Dam: Cross Section 23
24 Bureau of Reclamation Program (1996- ) Found it necessary to consider: Dam-foundation rock interaction Dam-water interaction Water compressibility Reservoir boundary absorption Started using EACD-3D-96 computer program for linear analysis LS-DYNA for nonlinear analysis Realistic models based on field tests EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
25 Reclamation Program To Evaluate Existing Dams Deadwood Dam, 50-meters high, single curvature Monticello Dam, 93-meters high, single cuvature Morrow Point Dam, 142-meters high, double curvature Hoover Dam, 221-meters high, thick arch Other dams EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
26 Deadwood Dam 50-meter high, single curvature dam 26
27 Monticello Dam 93-meter high, single curvature dam 27
28 Morrow Point Dam 142-meter high, double curvature dam 28
29 Hoover Dam 221-meter high, curved gravity dam 29
30 Hoover Dam Dam-foundation interaction Massless foundation rock (flexibility only) 758 lb/in 2 (5226 kpa) 2204 lb/in 2 (15196 kpa) 30
31 Deadwood Dam Dam-foundation interaction 476 lb/in 2 (3282 kpa) Massless foundation rock (flexibility only) 844 lb/in 2 (5819 kpa) 31
32 Monticello Dam Dam-foundation interaction 730 lb/in 2 (5033 kpa) Massless foundation rock (flexibility only) 1410 lb/in 2 (9722 kpa) 32
33 Morrow Point Dam Dam-foundation interaction Massless foundation rock (flexibility only) 665 lb/in 2 (4585 kpa) 1336 lb/in 2 (9211 kpa) 33
34 Neglecting Foundation Rock Inertia and Damping Stresses are overestimated by a factor of 2 to 3 Such overestimation may lead to Overconservative designs of new dams Erroneous conclusion that an existing dam requires remediation. Analysis must include dam-foundation rock interaction Ignored in most practical analyses only rock flexibility is considered EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
35 Monticello Dam Water compressibility considered 1565 lb/in 2 (10790 kpa) Water compressibility neglected 1309 lb/in 2 (9025 kpa) 35
36 Morrow Point Dam Water compressibility considered Water compressibility neglected 1513 lb/in 2 (10431 kpa) 2215 lb/in 2 (15272 kpa) 36
37 Neglecting Water Compressibility Stresses may be significantly Underestimated (e.g., Monticello Dam) Overestimated (e.g., Morrow Point Dam) Must include water compressibility Ignored in most practical analyses hydrodynamic effects approximated by added mass of water EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
38 COMPUTED VERSUS RECORDED RESPONSES 38
39 Comparison of Computed and Recorded Responses Large disparity in results depending on numerical model used Important to calibrate numerical models against motions of dams recorded during: Forced vibration tests Earthquakes EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
40 Forced Vibration Tests: Morrow Point Dam Bureau of Reclamation concluded: Massless foundation rock model far from matching measured response Including dam-foundation rock interaction (EACD-3D-96 model) reasonably matched measured response EGAT EGAT, Thailand Thailand ANIDIS
