摘要：

Arun III dam is a 150m long, 65m tall and 65m wide massive concrete gravity structure, planned to be constructed across a gorge in the Arun River in eastern Nepal. The site is located in the Himalayan region which is one of the most earthquake prone regions in the world. An analytical study into the seismic performance of the structure was carried out with finite element modelling using linear and nonlinear time history analysis procedures in ANSYS. This paper focuses on the time history analysis of the tallest monolith of the structure and its performance against design level event. In this study, formation of tensile crack across a critical region was investigated using nonlinear elements in the model. The results show that the structure will experience cracking but it is not likely that collapse will occur.
