It is important to investigate strong-motion time series recorded at dams to understand their complex seismic responses. This paper develops a strong-motion database recorded at existing embankment dams and analyzes correlations between dam dynamic responses and ground-motion parameters. The JCOLD database used here includes 190 recordings at crests and foundations of 60 dams during 54 earthquakes from 1978 to 2012. Seismic amplifications and fundamental periods from recorded time series were computed and examined by correlating with shaking intensities and dam geometries. Peak ground acceleration (PGA) at dam crest increases as PGA at foundation bedrock increases but their ratio gradually decreases. Fundamental period broadly increases with dam height and PGA at foundation bedrock. Nonlinear dam response becomes more apparent as PGA at foundation bedrock becomes >0.2 g. Prediction models of these correlations are proposed for estimating the seismic response of embankment dams, which can inform the preliminary design stage. |
