For this purpose an earth dam as a soil structure under earthquake has been considered. Various dam-foundation models are analyzed by Plaxis, a finite element package for solving geotechnical problems. The results indicate considerable differences in the seismic responses.}, journal = {International Journal of Geological and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {10}, year = {2010}, pages = {449 - 453}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7415}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/46}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 46, 2010}, }
