In this section we will present results for hydrodynamic pressures on the upstream face of the dam for two cases: (i) a rigid dam excited by x and y components of ground motion; and (ii) a flexible dam undergoing motion in its first mode of vibration; the three excitations are shown schematically in Figure 2.3.1. All three of these results will be utilized in deriving the fundamental mode response of the dam–water system (Section 2.4), and the hydrodynamic pressures on a rigid dam will be compared with classical solutions.
