Abstract The available substructure method and computer program for the earthquake response analysis of arch dams, including the effects of dam‐water interaction, reservoir boundary absorption, and foundation rock flexibility, is extended to include the effects of dam‐foundation rock interaction with inertia and damping of the foundation rock considered. Efficient techniques are developed for evaluating the foundation impedance terms, computationally the most demanding part of the procedure.
