Abstract

The dynamic responses of the arch dam including dam-foundation-storage capacity of water system, using two different earthquake input models, i.e. viscous-spring artificial boundary (AB) condition and massless foundation (MF), were studied and analyzed for the 269 m high Baihetan arch dam under construction in China. By using different input models, the stress and opening of contraction joints (OCJs) of arch dam under strong shock were taken into consideration. The results show that the earthquake input models have slight influence on the responses including earthquake stresses and openings of contraction joints in different extents.
