... site. After checking its accuracy against the commercial finite‐element method program ABAQUS, the extended nonlinear SEM is used to investigate the effect of noncausative faults on the seismic ground motion at the Dagangshan dam site in Southwest China. The analysis of the study case shows...

... EAGD-84 (in 2003), (3) the seismic evaluation of Hoover arch dam using SAPIV and EACD-3D-1996 (in 1998), and (4) the seismic design of Dagangshan dam using a direct FEM (in 2015). Throughout the book, explanation of the physics underlying mathematical formulation and interpretation of equations...

.... After the landslide, the stone and soil debris formed a big dam, which stopped the flow of Dadu river temporarily. The height of the dam is about 167 m ( Annals committee of Luding country, 1999 ). According to the local documents of Luding, the water level of the reservoir rose to an elevation of 1240m...

...Ming-liang Chen; Xing-guo Yang; Shun-chao Qi; Hai-bo Li; Jia-wen Zhou Abstract Occurrence of a reservoir landslide and its potential secondary hazards near a dam can result in significant losses and casualties, such as those that resulted from the Vajont landslide. In this study, a cataclinal rock...

... Reservoir dam site. The increasing annual deformation raises significant concerns about a potential landslide, which could lead to surge waves, posing a threat to both the dam and the surrounding environment. Owing to difficult access and worsening conditions, thorough exploration of the site...

... rock masses (CJRMs) in the dam zone were studied by Wei et al. [ 13 ], but the effects of rock meso property variation were difficult to identify when using their research method. Furthermore, due to limitations in terms of experimental equipment and techniques, it is very difficult to carry out large...

... of earthquake relocations, seismicity in the XFJR is primarily concentrated near the dam in the SER and Xichang in the NWR at an average depth of 5–10 km. Our study region spans ∼70 km in length and width, with an average depth of about 15 km. We divided the whole region by a 2.5 km grid interval in three...

... distribution of hydraulic conductivity in the foundation rocks at the aforementioned 12 dam sites ( Fig. 1 ). The study area is located in a subtropical monsoon climate zone and more than 80% of the annual precipitation occurs in May–October. Groundwater in the study area is mainly recharged by precipitation...
