Pine Flat Dam, located on King's River, east of Fresno, California, was constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1954 with height of 122 m. The dam's behavior was extensively studied in the 1970's and 1980's at the University of California at Berkeley that provide measured and calculated responses for correlation and comparison. For such purpose the dam was analyzed at action of various seismic excitations by taking in consideration linear and non-linear material properties as well and the effect of wave velocities of the rock foundation. The numerical analysis was carried out by preparation of 3D model of the dam thus applying code SOFiSTiK.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
