Safety of Dams

This text contains the proceedings of a course considering the dynamic safety of earth and rockfill dams. Papers cover earthquake motion and seismicity; earthquake damage to embankment dams; earthquake response of dams; dynamic properties of materials; dynamic stresses in embankments; earthquake-resistant design; deformation analysis; liquefaction mechanism; soil behaviour; factors affecting liquefaction; evaluation of liquefaction potential; and measures for prevention.
