Determining the Critical Intensity for Crack Initiation in Concrete Arch Dams by Endurance Time Method
This study aims at determining the critical seismic intensity at which cracks are expected to develop in a concrete arch dam. This intensity is referred to as crack initiation intensity. The crack initiation intensity measure implies that earthquakes with the intensity measure higher than this value are expected to induce cracks in the arch dam. This quantity is an indicator for seismic evaluat...
متن کاملEstimation of Concrete Arch Dams Responses in Linear Domain Using Endurance Time Analysis Method
In this paper, Endurance Time Analysis (ETA) method which is a new time-history based dynamic pushover procedure is introduced and its application in linear analysis of concrete arch dams is investigated. In this method the structure is subjected to gradually intensifying acceleration functions and its performance is evaluated based on the length of the time duration that can satisfy required p...
متن کاملA STUDY ON NONLINEAR BEHAVIOR AND SEISMIC DAMAGE ASSESSMENT OF CONCRETE ARCH DAM-RESERVOIR-FOUNDATION SYSTEM USING ENDURANCE TIME ANALYSIS
In the present paper, nonlinear behavior of mass concrete simulated by smeared crack model is combined with Endurance Time Analysis (ETA) method for studying seismic response of arch dams. ETA is a time-history based dynamic pushover procedure in which special predesigned intensifying acceleration functions are used for analysis and estimation of structural responses in various performance leve...
متن کاملNear-fault seismic damage patterns and failure scenarios prediction of concrete gravity dams using nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis
Performance based earthquake engineering approach has been under evolution for seismic safety assessment of structures. Qualitative and quantitative definition of seismic performance levels is major challenge of concrete gravity dams.
