tailieunhanh - Earthquake Engineering For Concrete Dams

The mandate of the panel was to evaluate the present status of knowledge about the earthquake performance of concrete dams, including procedures for investigating the seismic safety of such structures, and to summarize its findings in a report. The report was intended specifically to inform research workers about the state of the art of earthquake analysis of concrete dams and to identify subject areas where additional knowledge is needed. | Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams Design Performance and Research Needs Free Executive Summary http catalog Free Executive Summary Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams Design Performance and Research Needs Panel on Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams Committee on Earthquake Engineering Division of Natural Hazard Mitigation National Research Council ISBN 978-0-309-04336-6 158 pages 6 x 9 paperback 1990 This free executive summary is provided by the National Academies as part of our mission to educate the world on issues of science engineering and health.

The hazard posed by large dams has long been known. Although no concrete dam has failed as a result of earthquake activity there have been instances of significant damage. Concerns about the seismic safety of concrete dams have been growing recently because the population at risk in locations downstream of major dams continues to expand and because the seismic design concepts in use at the time most existing dams were built were inadequate. In this book the committee evaluates current knowledge about the earthquake performance of concrete dams including procedures for investigating the seismic safety of such structures. Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams specifically informs researchers about state-of-the-art earthquake analysis of concrete dams and identifies subject areas where additional knowledge is needed.
