- Abstract
- The report summarizes the results obtained and the conclusions drawn from a four year cooperative research project on 'Interaction Effects in the Seismic Response of Arch Dams'. The central feature of the research was correlation of field measurements of the forced vibration response of two arch dams in China, Xiang Hong Dian and Quan Shui, with corresponding results predicted by computer analyses; the principal emphasis of the work was on the effects induced by dynamic interaction of the foundation rock and the reservoir water with the response of the dams.
