Hydrodynamic effects in the acceleration response of concrete gravity dams to harmonic ground motion are investigated. The effects include the presence of water, compressibility of water, interaction between the fluid and underlying foundation medium, shape of the fluid domain, and the extent of excitation applied to an infinite fluid domain under vertical ground motion.
