Keywords: Dynamic monitoring systems for dams, finite element models, modal identification, evolutionary deterioration, ambient and seismic monitoring, state space formulations, non-stationary vibration modes
Abstract. In the scope of LNEC investigations on safety control methodologies for concrete dams, a long-term dynamic monitoring system was recently installed in Cabril dam. The collected data (acceleration records) is automatically processed using modal identification techniques, in order to obtain experimental information about the evolution of natural frequencies, modal damping, and mode shapes (stationary or non-stationary modes). It is emphasized that this information can be used: i) as complementary information about the evolution of dam deterioration gathered from other monitoring equipment; ii) for detection of structural behaviour changes related to reservoir level variations, thermal effect, and deterioration - for example, cracking evolution can occur due to evolutionary processes like swelling, or to exceptional events like earthquakes, that are also recorded; and iii) for calibration/validation of finite element models in order to improve the assessment of the dam structural integrity. In modelling the dam dynamic behaviour there are some important hypothesis related with the simulation of water-structure interaction and damping effects that remain under investigation due to the present lack of experimental reliable data, which is expected to be covered with this type of long-term dynamic monitoring systems.
1 INTRODUCTION
In dam monitoring, the automatic data acquisition systems (ADAS) can be used not only for measuring the dam response to static loads but also for the continuous long-term dynamic monitoring1,2. With these systems, the collected data (acceleration records at high sampling rates ~50Hz) is automatically analyzed using modal identification techniques3,4,5 (considering time periods of about one hour long). Then, the time evolution of the identified modal parameters (natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal damping) can be compared with numerical results from finite element models6 and/or discrete element models7 (figure 1). † Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL) ‡ Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC)

The use of ADAS for long-term dynamic monitoring of large dams is the best way to get useful experimental information to: i) study the evolution of the main modal parameters; ii) gather information about the correlation between changes in the modal parameters and structural changes due to deterioration processes8; iii) measure the dynamic dam response under ambient excitation and under seismic loads, iv) study the influence of the reservoir on the structural dynamic behaviour of the dam-foundation-reservoir system.

2 MODELLING THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE DAMS
The effectiveness of ADAS for the continuous monitoring of dam dynamic behaviour depends not only on the hardware components reliability (which is fundamental to ensure the quality of collected data) but also depends greatly on the potentialities of the software used for the automatic data analysis.
So, it is fundamental to develop software for data analysis automation that allows generating and/or updating, each hour, synthetic information under graph form to be used by engineers and other technicians from the staff responsible for the dam safety control. With that graph information, it should be easy to analyze the evolution in the main parameters and variables that characterize the dam dynamic response: modal parameters, water level, maximum accelerations, acceleration spectra, etc.
This software should include computational modules that make it possible to detect special events (earthquakes, civil works nearby the dam site, hydraulic discharges, etc.) and to detect abnormal structural changes through comparison between the dynamic monitored response (analysed by modal identification) and the dam response predicted by numerical modelling (FE/DE) and by means of statistical models for effects separation.
In the development of the above mentioned software, the used models/formula-tions/algorithms/interfaces should be specifically adapted to the simulation and analysis of the dynamic behaviour of dam-foundation-reservoir systems (figure 2). In particular, the used models should make it possible to analyse the observed dynamic behaviour by taking into account the water level variations, the temperature variations and the time effects, which can be related to deterioration processes (i.e. progressive cracking due to swelling reactions or induced by exceptional actions like floods or earthquakes).

For choosing adequate models/hypothesis to be used in the software development for supporting ADAS for dam dynamic monitoring, one important feature that should be take into account refers to the fact that these structures can present non-stationary vibration modes9 which, as is well known, cannot be simulated using simple elastic models based on the hypothesis of classical damping of Rayleigh type (proportional to the global mass and/or stiffness). This hypothesis of classical damping is generally used as a good approximation in civil engineering structures with no dynamic water-structure interaction phenomena.
In order to take into account the existence of non-stationary vibration modes, the models used should enable the consideration of the generalized damping hypothesis (non-classical damping that means non proportional to the mass and stiffness). Among these models, the simplest ones can be formulated using state formulations as indicated in figure 2, in which a distinction was made between the finite element model perspective and the modal identification perspective.
Figure 2 emphasizes the interest of the state space formulations in structural dynamics. Using the state matrix, the natural frequencies, modal damping and modal configurations can be easily computed throughout its eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
For generalized damping, the eigenvalues nλ of the state matrix are complex numbers as well as the j components of the corresponding eigenvectors jnφ . Physically, these complex values correspond to the existence of the previously mentioned non-stationary modes that are graphically represented in figure 3. So, for the generalized damping hypothesis, we can say that for a given mode n, the vibration at each DOF j is described by an harmonic decreasing wave (fig.3), which is completely defined by four parameters that can be “extracted” from the complex value nλ and from the complex modal componentjnφ : i) natural frequency
n nω = λ ; ii) modal damping, ( )n n nRe /ξ = − λ ω ; iii) amplitude jnφ ; and iv) phase angle ( )jn jnatan Im( ) / Re( )φ φ .

galleries) and the third was located at the centre of the crest gallery, where maximum acceleration values are expected. With these maximum acceleration values the dynamic amplification coefficient can be computed (by comparison with the maximum accelerations measured at the rock foundation).
Figure 5: Cabril dam. Main components of the continuous dynamic monitoring system2.
The accelerometers are linked to a modular system composed by units for acquisition and digitalization, which are controlled by 4 data concentrators (figure 5) that fetch the data from the digitalization units, store it locally and, as soon as receives the demand send the data to the computer through an optical fibre local net (LAN) (figure 5). The synchronization of the data concentrators as well as the procedures to start and recover from abnormal conditions is performed by an application, named Cabril Aquis, running in the computer located at the dam power station. In this place all the data is collected, stored and processed continuously using automatic modal identification procedures: for storing the main natural frequencies, mode shapes (amplitude and phase at each measuring point) and modal damping. For the communication between the data concentrators and the acquisition units we used RS485 copper nets (with a maximum of four RS485 in each data concentrator). When the distance is too long (f. ex. connection to the triaxial accelerometers near the rock foundation) we use an optical fibre link to extend the RS485 net. The redundant time synchronization of the data collected by the different concentrators is ensured by an electronic device developed at CIC/LNEC. This device send the time pace and the sync signals multiplexed over the same fibre and is designed to ensure flowing of the sync data in both directions. There are many other important components that are located in boxes near the accelerometers (see figure 5): i) Electronic gain circuits for amplifica-tion of the measured signals; ii) Electrical-optical signal convertors; iii) Supply devi-ces; iv) Batteries. As figure 5 shows the system can be accessed remotely via internet (using a virtual private network - VPN) from the analysis centre located at LNEC, in Lisbon. The data collection automation is a key operation in these monitoring systems. The data packages at the concentrators are sent, continuously, to the computer at the dam site where

are stored under a binary file format. These binary data files (one for each data concentrator) are “closed” at the end of each hour11. The original stored data - the measured acceleration time series - should be automatically analyzed in order extract and store the main modal parameters of the dam and in order to detect special events as is the case of earthquakes. For the purpose the following was developed: i) Computational modules for automatic modal identification using formulations in the frequency domain and in the time domain3,4,5; ii) Statistical models for effect separation10 for the analysis of the evolution in the main natural frequencies; iii) Finite element models for numerical computation of the main modal parameters6,7 . Figure 6 presents some interfaces of the computational modules that are developed for supporting the monitoring data analysis. Figure 6a shows the time evolution of the 1st natural frequency (values identified automatically and an approximation curve from a statistical model of effect separation) and the corresponding evolution in the water level. Figure 6b shows a comparison between the numerical 1st mode shape and the corresponding mode shape identified from the acceleration time series measured for one hour.

LONG-TERM DYNAMIC MONITORING OF CABRIL DAM Figure 7 presents the main four vibration modes identified with the SSI-COV method3,7 using the acceleration records measured with the system on 1st September 2009 (10:00-11:00 UTC) with the water level at 279.2 m and the power groups in operation. As can be seen, for these excitation conditions, with the power groups on, the identified vibration modes reveal non-stationary characteristics. It should be noticed that for a lower amplitude excitation, modal configurations were identified, which are nearly stationary. This may be understood by considering the hypothesis that the global damping for low vibration amplitudes is of the type “classical damping” 9 (proportional to the mass and/or stiffness) and that for high amplitudes is of the type “generalized damping” (non-proportional). Figure 8 presents the evolution in the main natural frequencies of Cabril dam (four), identified between Nov-2008 and Oct-2009. The adjusted curves for each modal frequency
