Abstract
Failures of dam structures represent a catastrophic hazard, especially for the downstream populations, facilities and environment. Many failures of these structures have occurred in the past due to earthquakes, which emphasise the necessity of further research efforts in this line. The objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of dam structures pointing out the complexities and the consequences associated with such phenomena. A rigorous calculation of the seismic behaviour of earth, rockfill and concrete gravity dams is presented, with the aim to provide comprehensive numerical approaches. For this purpose, the waterdam-soil interaction effects are analysed in detail, with the focus to be on methods accounting for materials, geometrical and contact nonlinearities. Finally, the liquefaction susceptibility of earth dams is studied using a methodology based on the well-known semi-empirical relationships.
