Abstract
The results from field tests on Pine Flat Dam near Fresno, California, are described. The results are then used in the formulation of a three‐dimensional mathematical model of the dam and a two‐dimensional mathematical model of one of the taller monoliths. The significance of these mathematical models in relationship to the behaviour of concrete gravity dams during earthquakes is also discussed.Keywords
