A three-dimensional boundary element model for the seismic analysis of arch dams is presented. The soil and the dam are assumed to be viscoelastic domains the former being boundless. The water is assume to be compressible subject to small amplitude motions. The three domains are discretized into B ."E. in a single model which includes a...

Sediment materials play an important role on the dynamic response of large structures where fluid-soil-structure interaction is relevant and materials of that kind are present. Dam-reservoir systems and harbor structures are examples of civil engineering constructions where those effects are significant. In those cases the dynamic response is...

A three-dimensional boundary element technique for dynamic analysis of arch dams including dynamic interaction and sediments on the bottom of the reservoir is presented. The dam and the foundation rock are assumed to be viscoelastic domains with linear behaviour. The water is assumed to be compressible and the sediment is considered as a...
