An earth dam was to be constructed on a site which posed non-uniform foundation conditions. The most prominent feature was a vertical contact between unweathered quartzite and decomposed diabase running parallel to the valley. The paper describes a two-dimensional finite element analysis on the foun

The seismic response of concrete gravity dams taking into account dynamic dam-water-foundation interaction is studied using the Boundary Element Method (BEM). Only the formulation and the solution procedure are described in this paper (part I). The analysis is carried out in the frequency domain, th
Some of the available stochastic finite element methods are adapted and evaluated for the analyses of response of soils with uncertain properties subjected to earthquake induced random ground motion. In this study, the dynamic response of a soil mass, with finite element discretization, is formulate
