Abstract

In this study, from the comparison of the results obtained by 3 dimensional dynamic analyses using the inverse-calculated properties and those by calculating using the real earthquake records, the inverse calculation method for obtaining the dynamic properties of rockfill materials was verified. The fundamental frequency of the dam was determined by analyzing the response spectrum of observed records. By repeated dynamic analyses for various shear moduli of rockfill material, the shear moduli in the rockfill zone that satisfy the relationship between the fundamental frequency obtained by analysis of the observed records and that by numerical analyses were determined. Using the determined shear moduli, the 3 dimensional dynamic analyses for the dam were carried out and the result were compared with the real response characteristics on the crest of the dam.
