Publisher: Pergamon Press, 1989

Synopsis

The propensity of both the Chinese and the Americans to build arch dams in places where the land moves, suggested a joint conference to discuss how to do it better. One was duly held in Beijing, June 1987. Photocopies of the 22 paeprs presented there are here arranged under nine topics: seismic imput for arch dams, dam-foundation interaction, analysis of reservoir-dam interaction, measurement of reservoir-dam interaction, analysis and observation of dam response, observed eathquake behavior, dynamic strength of concrete, behavior of arch dam abutments, and criteria for seismic design and analysis. No information is included on determining or predicting the seismic input characteristics of possible earthquakes. A summary of the conference lists present best practice and urgent research needs. This is a higly technical work for engineers working on dam design. Printed on acidic paper. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
