EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING FOR CONCRETE DAMS
ANALYSIS, DESIGN, AND EVALUATION ANIL K. CHOPRA
Written for graduate students, researchers, and professional engineers, Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams offers a comprehensive view of the current procedures and methods for seismic analysis, design, and safety evaluation of concrete dams.
Contents include:
• Development of procedures for dynamic analysis of 2D and 3D models of concrete dams
• Identification of system parameters that influence their response • Demonstration of the effects of dam-water-foundation interaction on earthquake response
A new book authored by Anil K. Chopra provides a comprehensive guide to modern methods for earthquake engineering of concrete dams
Earthquake Engineering for Concrete
Dams shows how earthquake analysis and design of concrete dams has progressed from static force methods based on seismic coefficients to modern procedures based on the dynamics of dam-water-foundation interaction.
It offers a comprehensive, integrated view of this progress over the last fifty years.
• Identification of factors that must be included in earthquake analysis of concrete dams
• Examination of design earthquakes as defined by various regulatory bodies and organizations
• Presentation of modern methods for establishing design spectra and selecting ground motions • Illustration of the application of dynamic analysis procedures to the design of new dams and safety evaluation of existing dams.
