Seismic damage assessment of concrete gravity dams is a challenging task due to the difficulty in establishing the damage states in relation to target performance levels. Post-seismic loading and uplift in cracking is generally not considered in this complex assessment and the effects are not clear. A quantitative damage estimation approach considering post-earthquake effects is proposed in this work to investigate this issue. A novel procedure to include post-earthquake effects on the monolith cracking was proposed in which demands from the aftershocks and uplift are assessed on the cracked state after the main event. Damage state was quantified in terms of the extent of crack propagation on the dam monolith. Categorising performance as such, the effects of post-earthquake factors were investigated on three representative systems in two steps. First, over 2000 nonlinear time history analyses were conducted to obtain damage states for the main shaking event. Then, the change in these states due to the effect of post-earthquake factors, including water pressure penetrating the cracks and aftershocks, were quantified. The results, as well as the methodology proposed, can serve organisations managing dam stock risk in re-assessment of seismic analysis results considering post-earthquake effects.

Predicting seismic damage on concrete gravity dams: a review Arıcı, Yalın; Soysal, Berat Feyza (2022-01-01) The seismic assessment of concrete gravity dams is a problem of prediction of cracking and the corresponding consequences. With the widespread use of general-purpose finite element programs, the work in the field has shifted towards quantifying the behaviour in a framework for assessment. The nonlinear analysis and coupling with foundation–reservoir interaction, conversely, is still a challenging task. The modelling approach has significant effects on the analysis results and the assessment framework. The f...
Overlapping Lattice Simulation of Concrete Gravity Dam Collapse Simulations SOYSAL, BERAT FEYZA; Aydın, Beyazıt Bestami; Tuncay, Kağan; Arıcı, Yalın; Binici, Barış (2017-09-01) Estimating the collapse limit state of concrete gravity dams within the framework of performance based design is challenging due to the uncertainty in modelling the response of these systems and the strong dependence of the behavior on the ground motion. The purpose of the study is to investigate the seismic expected damage levels by using the overlapping lattice modeling (OLM) approach with incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) for two representative dam monoliths. OLM employs pin connected bar elements exten...
Influence of seismic source and ground motion modeling on the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of the city of Van after the 23 october 2011 mw7.2 earthquake Şenyurt, Mehtap; Akkar, Sinan; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tolga; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Reliable assessment of seismic hazard is the most important step for seismic design and performance assessment of structural systems. However, the inherent uncertainty in earthquakes as well as modeling of ground motion may affect the hazard computed for a particular region. This study investigates the influence of seismic source and ground motion modeling on probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA). The study considers the seismicity around the city of Van to achieve its objective as this city was hi...
Comparison of the Overlapping Lattice and the Finite Element Approaches for the Prediction of the Collapse State of Concrete Gravity Dams Soysal Albostan, Berat Feyza; Arıcı, Yalın; Binici, Barış; Tuncay, Kağan (2017-10-13) Estimating the collapse limit state of concrete gravity dams within the framework of performance based design is challenging due to the uncertainty in modelling the response of these systems and the strong dependence of the behavior on the ground motion. In this context, the purpose of the study is to investigate the prediction capability of numerical tools in determining the collapse state of concrete gravity dams. The first tool used to this end is the classical finite element method with the smeared crac...
THE EFFECT OF HORIZONTAL IRREGULARITIES AND BASE ISOLATION CONFIGURATION ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF RC BUILDINGS Yazıcıoğlu, Eylem Bilge; Caner, Alp; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Earthquake Studies (2022-2-22) This study aims to evaluate the effect of horizontal irregularities and base isolation configuration on the seismic response of reinforced concrete base-isolated buildings. A set of structural models with varying re-entrant corner geometric properties has been utilized to make evaluations with respect to square-symmetric ordinary form. In addition to this set, alternative models with non-uniform mass distributions in the plan have also been employed to expand the building set. Elastic response spectrum-base...
