Abstract
Effects of two important factors on earthquake response of high arch dams are considered and combined into one program. These factors are: effects of radiation dam** of the infinite canyon and local non-linearity of the contraction joint opening between the dam monoliths. For modeling of rock canyon, the discrete parameters are obtained based on a curve fitting, thus allowing the nonlinear dam system to be solved in the time domain. The earthquake uniform free-field input at the dam-canyon interface is used. An engineering example is given to demonstrate the significant effects of the radiation dam** on the structure response.
