Damage identification technology of high arch dams has been well developed under strong earthquakes. However, the failure mechanism of high arch dams at different locations remains unclear. For this purpose, a series of deterministic dynamic analyses for a 3D 289-m-high arch dam based on concrete damaged plasticity constitutive model are performed. The failure mechanism at different locations of high arch dams under earthquakes is studied systematically. According to the sensitivity of different indicators to different damaged positions, an effective sensor placement scheme is proposed to assess the seismic reliability in practical engineering. Furthermore, a new effective equivalent damage model based on prior information is proposed, which can improve the efficiency of damage identification, as well as solving the problem that the real damage is concealed by homogenizing the damage in a pre-set region. The results provide suggestions and theoretical basis for sensor placement in actual monitoring of high arch dams; and the equivalent damage model provides a new solution to balance the efficiency and accuracy of damage identification.
