The purpose of this study was to identify a method that can reliably evaluate the fundamental period of a rockfill dam using the micro-earthquake records, which were obtained at Korean dam sites. For total 20 micro-earthquake records obtained at 7 Korean rockfill dam sites during 6 earthquake events which recently occurred, the fundamental periods of the dams were evaluated by two methods; one is a method using acceleration amplification ratio and the other is a method using acceleration response spectrum ratio. The applicability of each method to the evaluation of the fundamental periods of Korean rockfill dams was examined. In the moderate seismicity region like Korea, the method evaluating the fundamental period of the rockfill dam using acceleration response spectrum ratio, that is, the ratio between the response spectrum for acceleration observed at the dam crest and the response spectrum for acceleration observed at the dam base or abutment, proved to be reliable and was proposed in this study. From the examination results, it was found that the selected and proposed method could consistently evaluate the fundamental periods of rockfill dams and the results obtained by the proposed method were very similar to the results by the existing method which was proposed by Okamoto (1984) from the analysis for the earthquake records observed at Japanese dam sites |
