Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams: Design, Performance, and Research Needs
Concerns about the seismic safety of concrete dams have been growing during recent years, partly because the population at risk in locations downstream of major dams continues to expand and also because it is increasingly evident that the seismic design concepts in use at the time most existing dams were built were inadequate. To respond to these concerns, the Panel on Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams was appointed to serve under the NRC Committee on Earthquake Engineering. 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.
