A Simplified Procedure for Base Sliding Evaluation of Concrete Gravity Dams under Seismic Action

Table 12

Existing dams: values of 𝑦 𝑅 (mm) for each dam type evaluated with the spectral acceleration of Table 8 with reference to SLV, SLC, for granite (n.c.: not calculated, —: no residual displacement) (case of normal flood and case with 𝐿 𝑤 / 𝐿 = 0 . 8 5 ).
