This paper investigates the influence of multi-components strong motion duration on seismic performance of high concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs) by fragility analysis based on the method of incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). The contributions of all compositions of earthquake excitations are considered by the definition of integrated duration based on the concept of significant duration. The nonlinear finite element model of a 2D 200-m-high CFRD is established as a case study and the vertical and horizontal displacements are selected as damage measures. Fragility curves and probabilities of two sets of 23 and 25 spectrally equivalent as-recorded bi-directional long-duration and short-duration motions are determined under different failure grades and intensities. The results show that the duration of vertical component has a certain effect on correction between strong motion duration and deformation of the dam and fragility analysis indicates that the ground motions with long duration can make more risk of failure of high CFRDs than short duration motions. Therefore, the seismic performance of high CFRDs will be reformed by taking the effect of ground motion duration into seismic design and risk assessment consideration.
