Description
Summary: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. Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams 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.
Item Description:"Written by one of the world's foremost authorities on concrete dams, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the analysis, response, design and safety evaluation of concrete dams under earthquake loading, for professional engineers and regulatory bodies"--Provided by publisher
