Dynamic analysis demonstrates the limitations of homogeneous soil models in earth dam systems, highlighting the mechanical influence of pore water during earthquakes.
Soils are complex materials consisting in general of a granular solid skeleton saturated with water or a mixture of air and water. These characteristics have often been ignored and soils have been treated as equivalent homogeneous solids in many studies of the dynamic response of earth structures (4). In doing so, some of the effects of the pore water on the mechanical response of the soils are neglected.
