Random vibration analysis for the seismic response of earth dams

Abstract: The randomness of earthquake ground motions and the sensitivity of earth dams to details of the excitation make random vibration methods of analysis attractive and economical tools with which one can directly predict statistics of the response to potential earthquakes. A new random vibration formulation is introduced in this Paper and employed to study characteristics of the dynamic behaviour of earth dams modelled as inhomogeneous shear beams and excited by strong motions consisting of vertical shear waves.

“…In contrast, earthquakes with high-frequency contents affect the first impulsive mode more and result in high response parameters. Gazetas et al [17] investigated the effect of different frequency content on the non-linear response of earth dams. They found out that the response of the system is highly sensitive to the predominant period of excitation.…”

“…However, randomness is an intrinsic characteristic of earthquake ground motion and of the response of earth dams to the seismic excitation; therefore, it is necessary to analyze the seismic response of the earth from a stochastic point of view. Gazetas et al used the linear random vibration method to analyze the elastic seismic response of the Sannokai Dam under stationary white noise and to obtain the second‐order statistics of the seismic response. Akköse et al obtained the linearly elastic deterministic and stochastic seismic response of the Keban Dam and compared the results obtained by stochastic and deterministic analyses.…”
