Currently, in engineering practice, the main approach for dynamic analysis of concrete dams with finite-element method is still based on coarse simplification: fluid-stru [...]

Securing of the seismic performance of dams is an extremely important issue. As Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, various kinds of efforts [...]

The term “spatial variability of seismic ground motions” denotes the differences in amplitude and phase content of seismic motions recorded over extended areas or wit [...]
