Abstract

As the forward directivity and fling effect characteristics of the near-fault ground motions, seismic response of structures in the near field of a rupturing fault can be significantly different from those observed in the far field. The unique characteristics of the near-fault ground motions can cause considerable damage during an earthquake. This chapter presents results of a study aimed at evaluating the near-fault and far-fault ground motion effects on nonlinear dynamic response and seismic damage of concrete gravity dams including dam-reservoir-foundation interaction. Nonlinear dynamic response and seismic damage analyses of concrete gravity dams subjected to both near-fault and far-fault ground motions are performed. The results obtained from the analyses of the dam subjected to each fault effect are compared with each other.
