Abstract
The constructing Xiaolangdi dam is the highest earth-rock dam in China. Its maximum height is about 154 m, and the length of dam axis is about 1500 m. In this paper, by application of the three-dimensional shear wedge theory and the Bubnov-Galerkin approach method, the vertical earthquake response analysis is performed for the earth dam. Its dynamic behaviors such as maximum dynamic displacement, velocity, acceleration and stress etc. are obtained. Under the action of the designed earthquakes, the fundamental period of the vertical vibration of the Xiaolangdi earth-rock dam is about 0.803 s, the maximum acceleration response is about 0.976 g, and the maximum absolute acceleration is about 1.476 g.
