Ground motions in near source region of large crustal earthquakes are significantly affected by rupture directivity and tectonic fling. These effects are the strongest at longer periods and they can have a significant impact on Engineering Structures. In this paper, it is aimed to determine near-fault ground motion effects on the nonlinear response of dams including dam-reservoir-foundation interaction. Four different types of dam, which are gravity, arch, concrete faced rockfill and clay core rockfill dams, are selected to investigate the near-fault ground motion effects on dam responses. The behavior of reservoir is taken into account by using Lagrangian approach. Strong ground motion records of Duzce (1999), Northridge (1994) and Erzincan (1992) earthquakes are selected for the analyses. Displacements, maximum and minimum principal stresses are determined by using the finite element method. The displacements and principal stresses obtained from the four different dam types subjected to these nearfault strong-ground motions are compared with each other. It is seen from the results that near-fault ground motions have different impacts on the dam types.

This paper presents the status of dam construction in Korea, along with a brief assessment of the dam design and construction practice. The assessment is based on publically available design and construction records of the major existing rockfill dams which have been constructed since early 1970's, and focussed in identifying geotechnical characteristics of design and construction parameters of the dams. Though the assessment, two representative dams, having unique geotechnical characteristics, are selected for comprehensive comparison of their geotechnical engineering behavior during construction and operation. The comparison yields very interesting findings on the effects of various design and construction parameters on dam behavior.

Correlation among different factors must be considered for selection of influencing factors in safety monitoring of high dam including positive correlation of variables. Therefore, a new factor selection method was constructed based on Copula entropy and mutual information theory, which was deduced and optimized. Considering the small sample size in high dam monitoring and distribution of daily monitoring samples, a computing method that avoids causality of structure as much as possible is needed. The two-dimensional normal information diffusion and fuzzy reasoning of pattern recognition field are based on the weight theory, which avoids complicated causes of the studying structure. Hence, it is used to dam safety monitoring field and simplified, which increases sample information appropriately. Next, a complete system integrating high dam monitoring and uncertainty prediction method was established by combining Copula entropy theory and information diffusion theory. Finally, the proposed method was applied in seepage monitoring of Nuozhadu clay core-wall rockfill dam. Its selection of influencing factors and processing of sample data were compared with different models. Results demonstrated that the proposed method increases the prediction accuracy to some extent.

대형 사력댐의 내진성능 평가에서 필히 요구되는 입력상수는 사력재료, 코아매질의 전단파 속도이다. 이를 표면파 시험으로 평가하기 위해서는 사력골재의 불연속, 매질의 비균질, 사면 경계면 등 표면파 시험결과의 신뢰도를 떨어뜨리는 조건을 극복해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 표면파시험의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 기존 빔형성기법의 원리를 응용한 SBF (Short-Array Beamforming) 기법을 제안하였다. SBF 기법은 3~9 m의 짧은 측선과 원거리 발진원을 이용함으로써, 빔형성기법 고유의 장점인 측정자료의 자동화분석뿐만 아니라 근접장 문제의 해결, 국부적 이상대의 발견 등의 기능을 가지도록 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 SBF 기법과 IRF(Impulse-Response Filtration) 기법을 활용하여 대형 사력댐의 전단파속도를 신뢰성 있게 평가하는 방법을 정립하였다. 정립된 기법은 사력댐의 사력재료와 유사한 암버럭으로 매립 성토된 철도 노반에서 다운홀 시험, CapSASW (Common-Array-Profiling SASW) 시험과의 비교를 통하여 그 신뢰성과 실용성을 검증하였다.
