The Shih-Kang Dam was damaged by the fault displacement during the 1999 Taiwan Chi-chi Earthquake. From such the historical cases, it is considered that the seismic safety evaluation against fault displacement induced by surface earthquake fault is an important subject for long and large structures. As for the mode of surface fault, normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault, hinge fault, and so forth can be supposed. In order to realize an evaluation method against various kinds of fault displacement, I have devised the analysis method for discontinuous behaviors of concrete dams by applying 3-D dynamic analysis method. Applicability of the method proposed was examined by the analyses for concrete dam.
