SMIAC Bulletin; Earthquake Engineering Research Program. Volume 94-4

The Earthquake Engineering Research Program is an applied research program established by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide design procedures and criteria for assuring the seismic safety of many of our nations dams, locks, and levees. The need for the program was recognized by visionary leaders who realized the life safety risk. More than 200 reservoir dams, for example, are subject to potentially significant seismic shaking and most were built when earthquake engineering was in its infancy. The new 7-year research program is designed to develop and improve procedures to evaluate the seismic hazards, characterize the sites, model the predicted behavior (physically in the centrifuge and numerically), compute the expected damage, and develop cost-effective remedial measures and improved design procedures.
