Abstract
This paper discusses several considerations related to appropriate numerical modelling of the reservoir
hydrodynamic pressures on dams. The reservoir is modelled with 8-noded isoparametric displacement
based solid finite elements. The study includes both stiff and flexible dams with vertical and sloped
upstream faces under ramp, harmonic and random acceleration loads. The numerical results were compared
and found to be in good agreement with available closed-form solutions. The same approach may
be used in analyses of other waterfront structures such as quay walls.
