Earthquakes pose a significant threat to dams and other reservoir structures. Beyond the ground shaking itself, the dynamic interaction between the earthquake ground motion and the water in the reservoir creates a phenomenon known as hydrodynamic pressure. This pressure can significantly exceed the static hydrostatic pressure that the dam is typically designed to withstand. Understanding and accurately predicting hydrodynamic pressure is crucial for ensuring the safety and stability of dams during seismic events. This paper provides an excursus on the literature present on this topic and delves into the formulation included in the Ministerial Decree. 198 2 developing in detailed calculation steps and thus determining in closed form the resultant of the pressures and its point of application.
