Abstract
Based on the experimental data, a three-dimensional (3-D) nonlinear effective stress seismic response analysis method of earth-rockfill dams is proposed with the dissipation and diffusion of seismic pore-water pressure been considered. Then a method for evaluating the earthquake-induced permanent deformation of earth-rockfill dams taking into account both residual shear strain and residual volumetric strain is presented. The method proposed by Taniguchi is adopted to evaluate the earthquake-induced permanent deformation caused by residual shear strain. In order to evaluate the earthquake-induced permanent deformation caused by residual volumetric strain, the saturated part and the non-saturated part of the dams are treated separately. An expression of residual volumetric strain for non-saturated soils is proposed by analyzing the test data. As an example, the evaluation of the earthquake-induced permanent deformation of Zipingpu dam is performed.
