N2  - A seismic study of the proposed Liyutan Dam, a zoned  earth-rock fill dam in Taiwan, is presented, based on the actual  material behavior and state-of-the-art dynamic analysis. A  maximum credible and a design basis earthquake with a peak  acceleration of 0.77g and 0.4g were used, respectively. The static  stresses prior to the earthquake were determined by the computer  program ISBILD whereas the dynamic analysis was carried out by  FLUSH .  The dam is modeled as a plane strain system. Soil-structure  interaction effects are modeled by including a part of the massless  foundation in the finite element model (kinematic interaction) and  hydrodynamic interaction effects are approximated by an added  mass. The horizontal input motions are considered. The dam is  analyzed for full reservoir condition only .  One portion in the upstream shell of the dam is expected to  be built up from silty sand which is vulnerable to liquefaction.  This material is investigated using dynamic triaxial tests. Based  on these material properties, an approximate permanent deformation  analysis after Lee is carried out. The experimental investigation  shows that parts of the silty sand forming the upstream shell have  high liquefaction potential under the earthquakes considered, but  the permanent deformation analysis does not show any failure  phenomenon
