Abstract
The spillway on the small earth dam is made by reinforced concrete. Therefore, the weight could be the weak point in earthquakes. In this paper, shaking table tests were conducted to evaluate quake resistance of spillway focusing its attention to weight and stiffness of the spillway models, cross sectional shape of the models, and the effect of reinforced by geogrid. As the results, the proposed geogrid-reinforced spillway with lightweight material showed high earth protection.
