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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, the committee evaluates current knowledge about the earthquake performance of concrete dams, including procedures for investigating the seismic safety of such structures. \u003ci\u003eEarthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams\u003c\/i\u003e specifically informs researchers about state-of-the-art earthquake analysis of concrete dams and identifies subject areas where additional knowledge is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci,Commission on Engineering and Technical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309043360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309043366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587588600063,"sku":"9780309043366","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/earthquake-engineering-for-concrete-dams-national-research-council-9780309043366","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
