... behavior of high concrete gravity dam, in this study, a 185 m gravity dam model experiment based on similarity theory is carried out on a shaking table which type is Dys-600-5-05. The inputting seismic peak ground acceleration is kept as 5.32 g, and the earthquake periods are 0.48 s, 1.44 s, 3.20 s, 6.4 s...

... with observations. In addition the effects of tsunamis on rock slopes are explained through the recent mega-earthquakes and are discussed.

... loads associated with the design earthquake. This design method justified the use of a pseudostatic a celeration that is approximately 35 percent less than the peak ground acceleration. 1 INTRODUCTION Lake Mathews is the terminus reservoir for the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) and is located...

... of the permanent displacements. The conditional distribution presented in Figures 5 and 6 is sufficient for most rock mechanics applications. It is derived by using the characteristics of 58 ground accelerations recorded on rock sites from several earthquakes in California. This method presented also permits...
