Abstract
This paper presents a numerical and parametric study of the effect of an ice cover on the dynamic response of a concrete dam using the approach proposed in the companion paper in this issue. The method was programmed and implemented in a finite element code specialized for the seismic analysis of concrete dams. The 84-m-high Outardes 3 concrete gravity dam in northeastern Quebec was chosen as a model for this research. Some basic aspects of the numerical model are established in this paper and we show that the ice cover affects the dynamic response of the ice–dam–reservoir system. Main features of this influence are emphasized and discussed in a parametric study through the analysis of: (
