Dynamic tests were conducted on a 50 m high intake tower at Wimbleball dam in the U.K. The results were compared against predictions from a corresponding numerical model. The aim of this work was to validate the assumption that the compressibility of the reservoir water is not a significant factor in the seismic analysis of intake towers. Three sets of tests were conducted on different occasions with different water levels in the reservoir. In the first two tests, modal characteristics of the tower were determined from the measured responses under ambient, hammer and human excitation. These results were used in planning the final set of tests where rotating eccentric mass exciters were used to vibrate the tower. Structural accelerations and hydrodynamic pressures were measured over the height of the tower for three important bending modes of vibration. The finite element method was used to develop a numerical model for Wimbleball tower. The tower was discretized with traditional solid elements and the reservoir with incompressible fluid elements. This model was analysed to predict the modal characteristics and harmonic responses of the tower and reservoir under the various conditions imposed during the dynamic tests. Theoretical predictions of the tower's accelerations and hydrodynamic pressures in the reservoir were compared against the test results. Excellent agreement was found for the natural frequencies and mode shapes while predictions of the harmonic responses were only fair. The observed responses of the tower and reservoir support the assumption that reservoir compressibility is not a significant factor in the seismic analysis of towers of this size. 相似文献

Conventional seismic analysis of gravity dams assumes that the behaviour of the dam–water–soil system can be represented using a 2‐D model since dam vertical contraction joints between blocks allow them to vibrate independently from each other. The 2‐D model assumes the reservoir to be infinite and of constant width, which is not true for certain types of reservoirs. In this paper, a boundary element method (BEM) model in the frequency domain is used to investigate the influence of the reservoir geometry on the hydrodynamic dam response. Important conceptual conclusions about the dam–reservoir system behaviour are obtained using this model. The results show that the reservoir shape influences the seismic response of the dam, making it necessary to account for 3‐D effects in order to obtain accurate results. In particular, the 3‐D pressure and displacement responses can be substantially larger than those computed with the 2‐D model. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The dynamics of a coupled concrete gravity dam-intake tower–reservoir water–foundation rock system is numerically studied considering two hollow slender towers submerged in reservoir of gravity dam. The system is investigated in the frequency-domain using frequency response functions of the dam and the towers, and in the time-domain using time-history seismic analysis under a real earthquake ground motion. The analyzes are separately conducted under horizontal and vertical ground motions. The coupled system is three-dimensionally modeled using finite elements by Eulerian–Lagrangian approach. It is shown that presence of the dam significantly influences the dynamic response of the towers under both horizontal and vertical excitations; however the dam is not affected by the towers. When the dam is present in the model, the water contained inside the towers has different effects if the foundation is rigid, but it alleviates the towers motion if the foundation is flexible. It is concluded that the effects of foundation interaction are of much importance in the response of tall slender towers when they are located near concrete gravity dams. 相似文献

Dynamic response of dams is significantly influenced by foundation stiffness and dam-foundation interaction. This in turn,
significantly effects the generation of hydrodynamic pressures on upstream face of a concrete dam due to inertia of reservoir
water. This paper aims at investigating the dynamic response of dams on soil foundation using dynamic centrifuge modelling
technique. From a series of centrifuge tests performed on model dams with varying stiffness and foundation conditions, significant
co-relation was observed between the dynamic response of dams and the hydrodynamic pressures developed on their upstream faces.
The vertical bearing pressures exerted by the concrete dam during shaking were measured using miniature earth pressure cells.
These reveal the dynamic changes of earth pressures and changes in rocking behaviour of the concrete dam as the earthquake
loading progresses. Pore water pressures were measured below the dam and in the free-field below the reservoir. Analysis of
this data provides insights into the cyclic shear stresses and strains generated below concrete dams during earthquakes. In
addition, the sliding and rocking movement of the dam and its settlement into the soil below are discussed. 相似文献

The effects of interaction with surrounding water on the dynamic response behaviour of cantilever tower structures are studied. Expressions for response to harmonic ground motion in individual modes of vibration, including hydrodynamic interaction, are presented, the accuracy of responses obtained by ignoring surface waves and compressibility of water in the hydrodynamic solutions is evaluated, the effects of hydrodynamic interaction on the fundamental period of vibration are studied and the commonly used ‘added mass’ approach to account for effects of surrounding water is examined. The conclusions deduced from the results of this investigation include the following. Interaction with surrounding water increases the fundamental period of vibration of the tower and decreases the modal damping ratio. Compressibility of water has essentially no influence in the hydrodynamic effects on slender towers. The traditional definition of added mass is conceptually deficient, but is simple to employ; the errors in this simple added mass representation are negligible for the first mode of vibration of towers. 相似文献

Nonlinear seismic response analysis of arch dam-foundation systems- part I dam-foundation rock interaction 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The arch dam–foundation rock dynamic interaction and the nonlinear opening and closing effects of contact joints on arch dam
are important to the seismic response analysis of arch dams. Up to date, there is not yet a reasonable and rigorous procedure
including the two factors in seismic response analysis. The methods for the analysis of arch dam–foundation rock dynamic interaction
in frequency domain are not suitable to the problem with nonlinear behaviors, in this paper, so an analysis method in time
domain is proposed by combining the explicit finite element method and the transmitting boundary, and the dynamic relaxation
technique is adopted to obtain the initial static response for dynamic analysis. Moreover, the influence of arch dam–foundation
dynamic interaction with energy dispersion on seismic response of designed Xiaowan arch dam in China is studied by comparing
the results of the proposed method and the conventional method with the massless foundation, and the local material nonlinear
and nonhomogeneous behaviors of foundation rock are also considered. The reservoir water effect is assumed as Westergaard
added mass model in calculation. The influence of the closing–opening effects of contact joints of arch dam on the seismic
response will be studied in another paper. 相似文献

Using reciprocal theorems for dynamic and static boundary value problems, boundary integral equations are presented for wave propagation in elastic, isotropic media and compressible, inviscid fluids in the time domain as well as in the frequency domain. For the analysis of fluid–soil and fluid–structure systems, suitable coupling conditions are prescribed along the interfaces. The numerical treatment of the boundary integral equations consists of a point collocation and of a discretization of the boundary, in which constant and linear approximation functions are assumed. Step-by-step integration is applied to the time-dependent equations, where again the states are taken to be linear and constant over each time interval. These boundary element procedures are used to analyse the response of dams due to horizontal and vertical ground motions considering dam–water interaction and absorption of hydrodynamic pressure waves at the reservoir bottom or at the far end into the soil medium. Both the frequency response and the impulse generated transient response are investigated. 相似文献

The need for full‐scale dynamic tests, which are recognized as the most reliable method to evaluate a structure's vibration properties, is increasing as new analysis techniques are developed that take into account the complex interaction phenomenons that occur in dam–reservoir–foundation systems. They are extremely useful to obtain reliable data for the calibration of newly developed numerical methods. The Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics Research Center (CRGP) at the University of Sherbrooke has been developing and applying dynamic testing methods for large structures in the past 10 years. This paper presents the experimental evaluation of the effects of the varying water level on the dynamic response of the 180 m Emosson arch dam in Switzerland. Repeated forced‐vibration tests were carried out on the dam during four different periods of the reservoir's filling cycle during a one‐year span. Acceleration and hydrodynamic pressure frequency responses were obtained at several locations while the dam was subjected to horizontal harmonic loading. The variation of the resonant frequencies as a function of the reservoir level is investigated. A summary of the ongoing numerical correlation phase with a three‐dimensional finite element model for the dam–reservoir–foundation system is also presented.

The seismic response of a dam is strongly influenced by its interaction with the water reservoir and the foundation. The hydrodynamic forces in the reservoir are in turn affected by radiation of waves towards infinity, wave absorption at the reservoir bottom, and cross-coupling between the foundation below the dam and the reservoir bottom. The fluid–foundation interaction effect, i.e. the wave absorption along the reservoir bottom, can be accounted for by using either an approximate one-dimensional (1D) wave propagation model or a rigorous analysis of interaction between the flexible soil along the base and the water. The rigorous approach requires enormous computational effort because of (a) cross-coupling between the foundation of the dam and the soil below the reservoir and (b) frequency dependence of the boundary condition along the fluid-foundation interface. The analysis can be simplified by ignoring the cross-coupling and by using the approximate 1D wave propagation model. The effects of each of these two simplifications on the accuracy and computational efficiency of the procedure used for the seismic response analysis of a dam are examined. Analytical results are presented for the complex frequency-response functions as well as the time histories of the response of Pine Flat dam to Taft and E1 Centro ground motions. 相似文献

A nonlinear finite element model for earthquake response analysis of arch dam–water–foundation rock systems is proposed in this paper. The model includes dynamic dam–water and dam–foundation rock interactions, the opening of contraction joints, the radiation damping of semi‐unbounded foundation rock, the compressibility of impounded water, and the upstream energy propagating along the semi‐unbounded reservoir. Meanwhile, a new equivalent force scheme is suggested to achieve free‐field input in the model. The effects of the earthquake input mechanism, joint opening, water compressibility, and radiation damping on the earthquake response of the Ertan arch dam (240 m high) in China are investigated using the proposed model. The results show that these factors significantly affect the earthquake response of the Ertan arch dam. Such factors should therefore be considered in the earthquake response analysis and earthquake safety evaluation of high arch dams. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this study, the nonlinear seismic analysis of a typical three-dimensional concrete faced rockfill dam is reported. Three components of the Loma Prieta (Gilroy 1 station) earthquake acceleration time history are used as input excitation. The dam under study is considered as if it were located in a prismatic canyon with a trapezoidal cross-section. A nonlinear model for the rockfill material is used, and contact elements with Coulomb friction law are utilized at the slab–rockfill interface. Vertical joints in the face slab are also considered in the finite element model. A substructure method, in which the unbounded soil is modelled by the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM), is used to obtain the scattered motion and interaction forces along the canyon. The dam is subjected to spatially variable P, SV, and SH waves, and the effect of dam–foundation interaction and the reservoir water effects are considered. The results are compared with the non-scattered input motion analysis. Results of the analyses indicate that due to applying the scattered motion to the canyon the response of the dam and concrete face slab significantly increases. The reservoir water pressure affects the tensile stresses induced in the face slab by reducing the uplift movement of the concrete panels.Large horizontal axial forces are induced in the face slab due to out-of-phase and out-of-plane motions of the abutments. Although the normal movements of vertical joints are reduced due to the reservoir water confinement, the opening movements are still significant, and the local failure of construction joints is inevitable. 相似文献

The structure analysed herein is a tower and pier system of a long-span suspension bridge. The tower shaft is modelled to allow classical normal modes decomposition in order to reduce higher modes. The pier is assumed to be rigid body free to translation as well as to rocking motion, being reacted by the surrounding soil compliance that is derived from a continuum mechanics approach. Linear and non-linear soil and structural dynamic interaction is dealt with by random vibration theory with use of the linearization technique and complex modal analysis. Primary interest is placed on the investigation of the dynamic characteristics of the total interaction system and the rms response with change of the soil condition and input excitation level. Also discussed is the approximate response analysis, using classical normal modes for the interaction system, for purposes of practical design. 相似文献

Micro-dams are expected to be feasible options for water resources development in semi-arid regions such as the Guinea savanna agro-ecological zone of West Africa. An optimal water management strategy in a micro-dam irrigation scheme supplying water from an existing reservoir to a potential command area is discussed in this paper based on the framework of stochastic control. Water intake facilities are assumed to consist of photovoltaic pumping system units and hoses. The knowledge of current states of the storage volume of the reservoir and the soil moisture in the command area is fed-back to the intake flow rate. A system of two stochastic differential equations is proposed as a model for the dynamics of the micro-dam irrigation scheme, so that temporally backward solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation determines an optimal control, which represents the optimal water management strategy. A computational procedure using the finite element method is successfully implemented to provide comprehensive information on the optimal control. The results indicate that the water initially stored in the reservoir can support full irrigation for about 80 days under the optimal water management strategy, which is predominantly based on the demand-side principle. However, the volatility of the soil moisture in the command area must be reasonably small. 相似文献

A general procedure for analysis of the response of gravity dams, including hydrodynamic interaction and compressibility of water, to the transverse horizontal and vertical components of earthquake ground motion is presented. The problem is reduced to one in two dimensions considering the transverse vibration of a monolith of a dam, and the material behaviour is assumed to be linearly elastic The complete system is considered as composed of two substructures—the dam, represented as a finite element system, and the reservoir, as a continuum of infinite length in the upstream direction governed by the wave equation. The structural displacements of the dam (including effects of water) are expressed as a linear combination of the modes of vibration of the dam with the reservoir empty. The effectiveness of this analytical formulation lies in its being able to produce excellent results by considering only the first few modes. The complex frequency response for the modal displacements are obtained first. The responses to arbitrary ground motion are subsequently obtained with the aid of the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm An example analysis is presented to illustrate results obtained from this method. It is concluded that the method is very effective and efficient and is capable of producing results to any desired degree of accuracy by including the necessary number of modes of vibration of the dam. 相似文献

To evaluate the overall response of a structural system including its foundation and surrounding soil, an equivalent finite element model with reduced degrees of freedom using fibre theory‐based beam element was proposed. The proposed model was based on investigations of the subgrade soil reaction of a single‐layer model, and was verified for the cyclic behaviour of a laterally loaded single RC pile in terms of the load–displacement relationship, pile deformation, and soil pressures on the pile surface. Also investigated was the effect of the interfacial element between pile and soil on the behaviour of the laterally loaded pile. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The effects of soil‐structure interaction on the seismic response of multi‐span bridges are investigated by means of a modelling strategy based on the domain decomposition technique. First, the analysis methodology is presented: kinematic interaction analysis is performed in the frequency domain by means of a procedure accounting for radiation damping, soil–pile and pile‐to‐pile interaction; the seismic response of the superstructure is evaluated in the time domain by means of user‐friendly finite element programs introducing suitable lumped parameter models take into account the frequency‐dependent impedances of the soil–foundation system. Second, a real multi‐span railway bridge longitudinally restrained at one abutment is analyzed. The input motion is represented by two sets of real accelerograms: one consistent with the Italian seismic code and the other constituted by five records characterized by different frequency contents. The seismic response of the compliant‐base model is compared with that obtained from a fixed‐base model. Pile stress resultants due to kinematic and inertial interactions are also evaluated. The application demonstrates the importance of performing a comprehensive analysis of the soil–foundation–structure system in the design process, in order to capture the effects of soil‐structure interaction in each structural element that may be beneficial or detrimental.

Measured accelerations and water pressures obtained during a recent forced vibration test on a large thin arch dam at high water are compared to predictions from a finite element model for which water compressibility is both included and neglected. The numerical model is calibrated using the antisymmetric response data because they are only slightly affected by water compressibility; good agreement is obtained. In the effort to reproduce the symmetric response data, for which water compressibility plays a strong role, the calibrated model shows better correlation when water compressibility is included, but the agreement is still inadequate. A successful isolation of the fundamental water resonance from the experimental data shows significantly different features from those of the numerical water model, indicating possible inaccuracy in the assumed geometry and/or boundary conditions for the reservoir. Some other results at low water level are also included. 相似文献

A comprehensive study is performed on the dynamic behavior of offshore wind turbine (OWT) structure supported on monopile foundation in clay. The system is modeled using a beam on nonlinear Winkler foundation model. Soil resistance is modeled using American Petroleum Institute based cyclic p–y and t–z curves. Dynamic analysis is carried out in time domain using finite element method considering wind and wave loads. Several parameters, such as soil–monopile–tower interaction, rotor and wave frequencies, wind and wave loading parameters, and length, diameter and thickness of monopile affecting the dynamic characteristics of OWT system and the responses are investigated. The study shows soil–monopile–tower interaction increases response of tower and monopile. Soil nonlinearity increases the system response at higher wind speed. Rotor frequency is found to have dominant role than blade passing frequency and wave frequency. Magnitude of wave load is important for design rather than resonance from wave frequency. 相似文献

Two processes using the Newmark implicit integration scheme are presented for the analysis of the earthquake response of a three-dimensional model for arch dam-reservoir systems including the effect of compressibility of the water. The solid structure and fluid regions are modelled separately, and the forcing functions at the interface are due to the hydrodynamic pressures from the reservoir acting on the upstream face of the dam wall, and the accelerations from the dam wall acting in turn on the reservoir. For the purposes of an initial investigation, elastic properties are assumed for the material of the dam, whilst in the reservoir radiation damping at the upstream boundary has been included, but bottom absorption has not. The excitation is provided by means of a combisweep which is fashioned so that its continuously varying frequencies pass through the fundamental frequencies of both the arch dam-reservoir system and the reservoir alone. Consequently the response is highly resonant, thus providing a severe test for the numerical procedures. From the numerical results obtained for an example problem it is concluded that both schemes provide an acceptable solution to the problem posed, and the possibility of enhancement to cater for more complex situations is discussed. 相似文献
