Title: Seismic response analysis of high arch dam considering the nonlinearity of the transverse joints
Abstract: It is of great significance for dynamic response analysis of high arch dam considering the nonlinearity of transverse joints. Interaction between dam and reservoir water is taken into account, and static and dynamic combination algorithm is adopted. The result is that the opening of the transverse joint those are in the middle and close to the abutment is larger than others. Considering the deformation characteristics of transverse joints provides a basis for nonlinear dynamic study of arch dams in the future.
