Abstract— In the proposed study, the effect on gravity dam has
been examined using finite element analysis software ANSYS
14. The gravity dam is completely resting on soil media and
surrounded by soil media. The relevant amount of soil around
and bottom of the gravity dam has been modeled to simulate the
in-situ conditions. The gravity dam has been analyzed using
dynamic loading in transient analysis using Imperial Valley
(1940) earthquake record are included. Analysis of the gravity
damhas been carried out and the influence of soil properties has
been studied at the region of transverse sections, which
exhibited the response in terms of stress and deformation with
significant difference.

I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Soil Structure Interaction
Soil-Structure Interaction is a challenging
multidisciplinary subject which covers several areas of Civil
Engineering. Virtually every construction is connected to the
ground and the interaction between the artifact and the
foundation medium may affect considerably both the
superstructure and the foundation soil. The Soil-Structure
Interaction problem has become an important feature of
Structural Engineering with the advent of massive
constructions on soft soils such as nuclear power plants,
concrete and earth dams. Buildings, bridges, tunnels and
underground structures may also require particular attention
to be given to the problems of Soil-Structure Interaction.
We have seen earlier that considering the soil as a
deformable elastic medium the stiffness of soil gets coupled to
the stiffness of the structure and changes it elastic property.
Based on this the characteristic response of the system also
gets modified. This we can consider as the local effect of soil.
On the other hand consider a case of a structure resting on a
deep layer of soft soil underlain by rock. It will be observed
that its response is completely different than the same system
when it is located on soft soil which is of much shallow depth
or resting directly on rock. Moreover the nature of foundation,
(isolated pad, raft, pile), if the foundation is resting or
embedded in soil, layering of soil, type of structure etc. has
profound influence on the overall dynamic response of the
system. The complexity of the problem, due also to its
multidisciplinary nature and to the fact of having to consider

bounded and unbounded media of different mechanical
characteristics, requires a numerical treatment for any
application of engineering significance. The Finite Element
Method appears to be well suited to solve problems of Soil-
Structure Interaction through its ability to discretize only the
boundaries of complex and often unbounded geometries.
1.2 Categories of Interaction
1.2.1 Structures Supported By Ground
It is important to distinguish between two broad objectives
in carrying out soil structure interaction analyses: first and
perhaps of most concern to the engineer, is the need to
estimate the form and magnitude of the relative deflections.
This information is used to assess the likelihood of damage
and to investigate the merits of different foundations and
structural solutions. Secondly is the much more specialized
requirement of calculating the distribution of forces and
stresses within the structure.
1.2.2 Ground Supported By Structures
Earth retaining structures are unique in that the walls are
integral components of soil structure systems deriving both
loading and support from the soil. Strain and time- dependent
forces and movements cause variations in ground pressure
and retaining structures respond to these changes in order to
maintain a state of balance.
1.3 Aim of the Study
The aim of work is twofold. First includes working on the
analysis of gravity dam section neglecting soil structure
interaction. Second includes working on the correct modeling
of structures considering soil structure interaction. Some of
the procedures currently practiced by structural designers for
this are studied and a modeling procedure is selected. Based
on this procedure a model is generated for future work.
The other part is includes to determine the dynamic
interaction of concrete dams with soil foundation and to
check the displacement and stresses induced in dam-soil due
to earthquake forces. The Third part parametric studies of
different height of dam and changing different soil model
dimensions.

on FEM this method of analysis for gravity dam. They
discussed of the various studies that was various types of
foundation models and the size of the foundation according to
Base Width of the concrete gravity dam, they found the
foundation size and stiffness the effect on the stresses in the
structure. G. N. Bycroft and P. N. studied SSI effect that
considering seismic ground motion of long trapezoidal
section dam and foundation. They analytically proved that
when optimum seismic design of considering triangular cross
section of dam of their SSI effect is lower, when the strain
occurring in the dam section. Mohammad Mehdi Heydari and
Shiva Khosravi (Iran, 2013) they investigated developing 2D
Finite Element model different geometrical shape of concrete
gravity dam of considering dam-reservoir-foundation
interaction effect by using ANSYS modal analysis they
proved that Dam soil water interaction is very important for
safety design of dam. Brijesh Singh and Pankaj Agarwal
(2009) have investigated the seismic ground motion response
of high concrete gravity dam-reservoir water-foundation
system. They have studied the effect of flexibility foundation
and reservoir by dynamic transient analysis. The dam has
been considering analysis of plane stress effect on structure to
the different dimension of soil model of with and without
SSI. They also proved that, increasing the soil model
dimension there is no effect of soil structure interaction on
structure. Anil K. Chopra (2012) has discussed the 3D
analysis of arch dam by various influence the viz. semi
unbounded size of the reservoir and foundation-rock
domains, dam-water interaction, wave absorption at the
reservoir boundary, dam–foundation rock interaction, and
variations in seismic ground motion in the dam-rock
interface.
III. FORMULATION OF PROBLEM
In a gravity dam the force of the water is held back by the
self-weight of the dam, with some assistance from shearing
resistance and bond. Analysis of structure with soil structure
interaction effect is done by Finite Element Method (FEM).
The FEM has become a powerful tool for the numerical
solution of a wide range of engineering problems. In this
method all the complexities of the problems like varying
shape, boundary conditions and loads are maintained as they
are but the solution obtained are approximate. Because of its
diversity and flexibility as an analysis tool, it is receiving
much attention in engineering.
The earthquake response of gravity dams under strong
ground motion could be determined by considering the two
dimensional independent vibration of the dam. A general
analytical procedure to evaluate the response of concrete
gravity dams subjected to strong ground motion is developed
by the substructure method approach. In this work, the
response for modeling of dam soil is formulated by
discrediting the system into two substructures which are
Gravity Dam Section without and with SSI for Dynamic
Analysis (Transient Analysis). In the formulation of the Dam
and Soil interaction, a substructure method is used. The
coupling is done using the interfaces that take into account
the interaction forces between the dam and Soil. Here
ANSYS 14 is used for the analysis of the gravity dam section.

3.2 FEM in Structural Analysis (Basic Steps)
In engineering problems there are some basic unknowns,
from which behavior of entire structure can be predicted.
These variables are displacement in solid mechanics. In a
continuum these unknowns are infinite. The finite element
procedure reduces such unknowns to a finite element number
by dividing the solution region into parts called elements.
The material properties and governing relationships are
considered over these element corners. An assembly process,
duly considering the loading and constraints, results in a set
of equations. Solution of these equations gives us
approximate behavior of continuum.

Finite element analysis (FEA) has become commonplace
in recent years, and is now the basis of a multibillion dollar
per year industry. Numerical solutions to even very
complicated stress problems can now be obtained routinely
using FEA. Ray Clough was the first to use the Finite
Element procedure. From the time remarkable advances have
been made in the last many years both on the mathematical
foundations and generalization of method to solve field
problems in various areas of engineering analysis.

4.2 Finite Element Analysis Using ANSYS Software
In the paper work finite element analysis is done using
ANSYS 14 version software in ANSYS workbench. ANSYS
Workbench combines the strength of CPU with the project
management tools necessary to manage the project
workflow. In ANSYS Workbench, analyses are built as
systems, which can be combined into a project. The project is
driven by a schematic workflow that manages the
connections between the systems. From the schematic, you
can interact with applications that are native to ANSYS
Workbench (called workspaces) and that display within the
ANSYS Workbench interface and you can launch
applications that are data-integrated with ANSYS
Workbench, meaning the interface remains separate, but the
data from the application communicates with the native
ANSYS Workbench data.
V. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
5.1 considering various cases
In these work results of various cases as refer in previous
section analyzed by ANSYS 14 software are presented and
discussed in connection with soil structure interaction.
Displacement and stresses induced in the soil -dam system is
checked by software. Results of transient analysis using
Imperial Valley (1940) earthquake record are included.
Results are also obtained by considering various cases viz.
height of dam, modulus of elasticity of soil and soil model
dimensions.
As soil structure interaction effect on structure is there up
to certain dimension of soil model, after increasing the soil
model dimension there is no effect of soil structure
interaction on structure.

4.3 Results of transient analysis of dam section with SSI
Effect
In these section results of transient analysis for various
cases mentioned for SSI. The peak value of displacement and
equivalent stress (von-mises) obtained. If the soil structure
interaction effect is considered, soil stiffness is assumed to be
attached to the structural stiffness. Hence, the stiffness of the
structure is reduced. As the dimension of soil model
surrounding the structure increases the effect of soil on
structure gets reduced. After some limitation, even increase
in soil dimension does not affect the displacement and stress
result in the structure.

From all above observation, it is noted that as height of
dam increases maximum total equivalent stress is at lower
depth. It is observed that these can be critical depth as
equivalent stresses are maximum at for these depths and for
any other combination. The given height the values are
equivalent stresses less than that observed at these depths.
These cases it is observed from, dam of 100 m height is more
susceptible to damage.

From above table, discussed the results all cases in
connection with soil structure interaction. In all cases of dam
with SSI, peak X-Displacements and Y- displacements are
decreases. In this discussion it is observed that, peak
equivalent stresses are maximum in at bottom of dam section.
In table 6.18 it is observed that the peak Y- displacements and
Equivalent stresses of without SSI of Dam are minimum as
compare to with soil SSI of Dam.
VI. CONCLUSION
From the analysis, it can be concluded that, if soil
stiffness and mass of the soil is considered the
displacement is higher for the soil structure
interaction compared to that of without soil structure
interaction (fixed base).
Also concluded that, if soil is considered the stress
at the toe in the gravity dam section increase. Also,
after some soil depth the effect of soil on gravity
dam section can be neglected. From the results, after
soil depth equal to 280 m gravity dam stress and
displacement in the gravity dam section become
constant.
It can be concluded that, if SSI is considered the
peak equivalent stress at the bottom of the gravity
dam section decreases.
Also as the depth of soil increases peak
displacement in X and Y direction increases.

From the analysis of Dam with SSI, it can be
concluded that 100 m height of dam is more
susceptible to damage.
As height of dam increases maximum total
equivalent stress is observed at lower modulus of
elasticity and at lower depth.
For the Gravity Dam construction if there is no hard
rock available at greater depth also then it is very
important to check effect of soil structure
interaction.
