The paper aims at evaluating the capabilities and limitations of some numerical tools for estimating the seismic response of earth dams. In particular, the recorded acceleration time histories and permanent displacements are compared against those predicted by using a 2D FEM code (Quake/W). Acceleration time histories and displacements were recorded during centrifuge tests of reduced scale model of an earth-core rockfill dam (ECRD). Such tests were carried out by researchers at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology) and results were recently published. This paper summarizes the essential aspects of these experiments for the sake of clarity.
