Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams

[b]A comprehensive guide to modern-day methods for earthquake engineering of concrete dams[/b] Earthquake analysis and design of concrete dams has progressed from static force methods based on seismic coefficients to modern procedures that are based on the dynamics of dam–water–foundation systems. [i]Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams[/i] offers a comprehensive, integrated view of this progress over the last fifty years. The book offers an understanding of the limitations of the various methods of dynamic analysis used in practice and develops modern methods that overcome these limitations.  This important book: Develops procedures for dynamic analysis of two-dimens…
