3.1 Methodology Calibration on displacements measurements for a static load (hydrostatic pressure + temperature) case over 1997-2008 period. Analysis procedure: 1. Initial state: dams self-weight 2. Application of measured ambient temperatures during the considered period => determination of temperature fields within the dam 3. Evaluation of displacements induced by temperatures evolution and water level variations during the considered period. 4. Comparison of calculated displacements with measurements over the considered period

6. Conclusions and comments 3D numerical (FE) model of Rossinire dam including wing buildings, hydromechanical equipment (gates) and foundation was developed to evaluate seismic safety of the dam Model preparation and analyses were carried out using FE software Z_Soil 3D (versions 9 and 10beta) Large number of the programs features were successfully used Calibration and validation of the model showed very good agreement with measurements over several years (temperatures and displacements) Dynamic stress analyses show that compressive and tensile stresses remain below concrete strength Stability analyses of the dam indicate that neither sliding nor overturning may occur under the considered loads Assessment of the metallic gates stresses and deformations during earthquake indicates that: stresses fulfill strength criteria both in tension and in compression no risk of gate blocking between buttresses was identified no risk of jack bars buckling was identified Therefore, the seismic safety of Rossinire dam is fulfilled
