Book ·
OSTI ID:5974339

This book discusses, in a unified manner, the theoretical and practical aspects of the seismic behavior of all types of concrete and embankment dams. It 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.
