Eagdslide - General
Program is a 2-dimensional implicit static and dynamic plain-stress linear-elastic
finite element structural analyses program specifically written for concrete gravity
dams.
Elements are 9-noded (4 corner nodes, 4 mid-side nodes, and 1 node at the
centroid) quadratic finite elements.
The foundation is modeled with a visco-elastic half space that takes into account
mass and inertia affects.
Hydrodynamic interaction is modeled with compressible fluid formulation.
Damping is by hysteretic material damping and radiation damping in the
foundation.
The majority of nodes and elements can be generated. Input is very simple and
can be created with a text editor.

DAMPING
H = 0.10
Notes:
Reclamation typically uses a hysteretic damping of 10 percent. This relates
to a viscous damping of 5 percent. Additional damping mechanisms such
as radiation damping and reservoir-bottom reflection coefficient increase
this level of damping.
17
Example
c INTERFACE
c U = 1.0 F=0
Notes:
EAGD_SLIDE has the capability to slide along the dam to foundation
interface. This capability has not been used by Reclamation and has not
been validated. The INTERFACE command is usually not given or
commented out as shown in the example.
18
Notes:
At Reclamation, 0.8 is a reasonable value for the reservoir-bottom reflection
coefficient. A value for alpha of 0.8 was determined from measurements at
7 dams and from sensitivity studies on Morrow Point Dam by varying alpha
and comparing computed dam response to measured dam response.
Un-conservative results can be computed with alpha values less than 0.8
by over-damping the analyses. Eccentric mass shaker tests at the site
should be used to justify values of alpha.

Notes:
- For silt, the equivalent horizontal fluid pressure is 85 lb/ft3
(the vertical weight density is 120 lb/ft3).
- Hydrostatic pressure of the reservoir is defined with the
RESERVOIR command.

Notes:
Hydrodynamic interaction is automatically computed in EAGDSLIDE.
These masses are additional mass possibly from equipment and machinery.

where:
fHighest is the highest frequency of interest of the
dam. Normally 25 Hz is the highest frequency of
interest because:
- any frequencies over 25 Hz do not add to the
response of the dam and
- ground motion recordings only measure
up to 25 Hz.

Notes:
Only the response at a crest node is necessary. When plotted, the frequency
response functions provide the frequency of the dam-foundation-reservoir
system. The Ritz vectors only provide the natural frequencies of the damfoundation system and the reservoir only.

T = 1 / (2 F)
If F = 25 Hz, then T = 0.02 seconds
Recommended: T = 0.01 seconds
42
43
T = N x T
Solving:
M
= (log N) / (log 2), So M = [ log ( T / T) ] / ( log 2)
M
= Is an integer number making N > T
Example:
If T = 20 seconds, T = 0.01, M = 10.97, Rounding = 11

f = 1 / T f1 / 50
where:
f = frequency increment for the Fourier transform
T
= the total duration of the earthquake plus the quiet time
f1
= natural frequency of the dam
Example:
Say:
N
= 211
= 2048
T = 0.01 second solution time step
T
= N x T = 20.48 second total duration
f1
= 7 Hz natural frequency of the dam
Then:
f
f1
45
= 1 / T = 1 / 20.48 sec
= 7 Hz / 50
= 0.049 Hz 0.14 Hz
= 0.049 Hz
= 0.14 Hz
= Okay
