Abstract
Ground dams as it is well known have a complex geometry and physical non-uniformity. Dams with inner (central) little-water-saturated obstacle in the form of a so-called core which is formed from little-water-saturated clayey soil are more frequent in Central Asia. Slope zones around this core are of water-saturated stone filled soils. Water infiltration, that is moisture content of soil leads to the change of strength parameters of the core material. Stress-strain state of ground dams is studied in this paper with account of moisture content of clayey parts of the dam on seismic action with records of real velosigrams. Dam material is modeled by elastic and elastic-plastic bodies. As this problem is a non-stational one, it is solved by finite-difference method. Based on the results of design a dynamic behavior of characteristic points of the dam (slope, crest and central parts) were defined at the moment of action of seismic load and zone of formation of plastic deformation.

Ground dams as it is well known have a complex geometry and physical non-uniformity. Dams with inner (central) little-water-saturated obstacle in the form of a so-called core which is formed from little-water-saturated clayey soil are more frequent in Central Asia. Slope zones around this core are of water-saturated stone filled soils. Water infiltration, that is moisture content of soil leads to the change of strength parameters of the core material. Stress-strain state of ground dams is studied in this paper with account of moisture content of clayey parts of the dam on seismic action with records of real velosigrams. Dam material is modeled by elastic and elastic-plastic bodies. As this problem is a non-stational one, it is solved by finite-difference method. Based on the results of design a dynamic behavior of characteristic points of the dam (slope, crest and central parts) were defined at the moment of action of seismic load and zone of formation of plastic deformation.
