Abstract/Additional Information
The purpose of the Bulletin is to describe the actual seismic behaviour of existing dams and, from these case histories, to outline the numerous technical features to be considered for dams to resist seismic ground motion.
Such seismic considerations should essentially reflect the special investigations, design and constructions techniques that are necessary for dams in a seismically active area.
This Bulletin is addressed to all those involved in the design, construction and operation of dams.
