Earthquake Engineering for Large Dams

by Radu Priscu

Discusses, in a unified manner, the theoretical and practical aspects of the seismic behavior of all types of concrete and embankment dams. Treats general problems of seismologic engineering, particularly the origin and tectonic mechanisms of natural and induced earthquakes, and outlines procedures for determining dynamic loadings and evaluating the seismic response and risk of dams.
