The linear response of a selected arch dam to harmonic upstream, cross‐stream or vertical ground motion is presented for a wide range of the important system parameters characterizing the properties of the dam, impounded water, reservoir boundary materials and foundation rock. Based on these frequency response functions, the hydrodynamic and foundation flexibility effects in the dynamic response of arch dams are investigated.
