Abstract
The seismic performance design of dams is based in good estimates of sliding displacements and crest settlements. Theoretical result has shown a good correlation between sliding displacement of slope and destructiveness potential factor PD. Chilean practice of seismic dam design considers performance design with three limit estates: operational, maximum credible earthquake and second maximum credible earthquake. Crest dam vertical settlement recorded from seismic performance in real Chile earthquakes for PD between 50 and 60 × 10−4 [gs3] confirm the good forecast of the theoretical values obtained in terms of PD compare with PGA. In conclusion the use of PD for performance design of dams is highly recommended.
