Abstract
Earthquake safety of dams The safety of dams during earthquakes is of great importance, since a dam failure has serious consequence. The behaviour of dams under dynamic loading during earthquakes is rather complex und depends on a number of factors, e.g. earthquake characteristics, behaviour of dam materials, ground conditions, groundwater conditions, etc. These influence factors are to be investigated in this project. The focuses are on the constitutive models for the materials in dam and ground as well as the hydro-mechnical coupling. The investigation is based on nonlinear 3D-numerical analyses.
