2. OUTCOME OF COLLABORATION CFBR developed own analysis methods and focused on the verification of them through the reproduction simulations of various dam types using the seismic records that were monitored in large dams in Japan. The spillway gates in French dams were roughly assessed for the seismic capability by comparing the dimensional data with ones in Japan. JCOLD provided some cases of the reproduction simulations of the concrete gravity dam, the arch dam and the facing rockfill dams. In addition, state-of-the-art research on the seismic analysis method and material characteristics of a largely deformed rockfill dam due to the seismic impact was introduced. The technical discussion and exchange between CFBR and JCOLD resulted in creative outcomes involving the adequate verification of the methods and finding further technical issues addressed in the future. These results are disseminated to many dam engineers in five workshops and two international symposiums held in French and Japan. An e-book compiling the above technical activity as 36 technical papers will be issued this year as titled “Qualification of Seismic Dam Analyses and their equipment.” The main topics of the book are the following: a. Analysis on acceleration data of dams collected by JCOLD b. Practical guide for selecting seismic parameters and numerical models c. Material properties and performance of embankment dams · d. Performance and analysis of AFRD and CFRD e. Qualification of simplified analysis of embankment dams f. Qualification of detailed analysis of embankment g. Dynamic modeling, experimental and in-situ results of concrete dams h. Effects of radiative boundary conditions and spatial variability of the seismic ground motion i. Dynamic behavior of concrete dam : lessons learned from the JCOLD database j. Characterization of the dynamic behavior of an arch dam by means of forced vibration tests k. Comparison between numerical analyses and seismic records on dams l. Simplified analyses for gravity dam m. Displacement-Based Seismic Assessment of Concrete Dams n. Comparison of design criteria of gates between Japan and France o. Analysis of gates compared to field measurements 16
