Seismic Stability Evaluation of Folsom Dam and Reservoir Project. Report 3. Concrete Gravity Dam

摘要: Abstract : The man-made water retaining structures at the Folsom Dam and Reservoir Project, located on American River about 20 miles upstream of City Sacramento, CA, have been evaluated for their seismic safety in event a magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurring East Branch Bear Mountains Fault Zone. This report documents structural analysis concrete gravity section project. evaluation is conducted to estimate maximum principal tensile stresses outer faces dam. These stress estimates show where significant cracking, if any, will occur. Based upon these analyses, it concluded that dam maintain its integrity during after major earthquake.
