Vibration tests were conducted on both the prototype and a 1:24-scale model of the North Fork Dam, a double curvature arch dam, to determine natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping ratios, and hydrodynamic pressures. Two vibrators mounted on the crest of the dam were used as input excitation sources for both series of tests. Electromagnetic shakers capable of a 40-lb output were used in the model tests, while counterrotating, eccentric mass exciters capable of a 5000-lb output were employed for the prototype. Velocities were measured along the crest and downstream face of the model, whereas accelerations were measured in the same locations on the prototype. Measurements in both curves were taken at the dam-reservoir interface while the structures were excited at resonant frequencies. Damping in both model and prototype ranged from approximately 2 to 5 percent of critical. These values are consistent with structural damping values for these types of structures.

A 1:60-scale model of the Pine Flat concrete gravity dam was constructed and subjected to steady state forced vibration tests. Natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping, and hydrodynamic pressures were measured during these tests. These results were compared with similar results obtained in the prototype test program previously conducted. Also two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element analyses were performed to obtain analytical values for natural frequencies and mode shapes. Model and prototype test results compared favorably with those from the three-dimensional finite element analyses. The reservoir was observed to have little effect on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the model dam. Furthermore, it was concluded that the dynamic characteristics of the continuous three-dimensional model compared favorably with those of the prototype which was constructed in monoliths. (Author).

This book describes how a number of different methods of analysis and modelling, including the boundary element method, the finite element method, and a range of classical methods, are used to answer some of the questions associated with soil-structure interaction.

The present volume provides a comprehensive understanding of the modern criteria, models and methods of analysis of arch dams, for normal operation conditions and under exceptional loads. This information is important for all those involved in the evaluation of the behaviour and condition of arch dams and other large structures, either for design or monitoring purpose.
