Achieve adequate safety of dams against earthquakes is of particular importance, given that many dams have been constructed in seismic areas. In this study, the finite element method and ABAQUS software was used to o evaluate the performance of the SARIYAR dam in several earthquake with different nature of frequency. Dam-Water-Sediment-Foundation interaction was applied in the model to simulate the conditions affecting the response of the dam in a way that is consistent with the fact. Also ten different earthquake with near and far fault was selected to apply in the system. The impact of changes in the water level of the reservoir was also evaluated. The results indicated that the displacement was increased with rising in the water level. In Addition the far fault earthquakes had a significant influence on dam body responses in all cases.
