Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams is written for graduate students, researcher and professor engineers, and offers a comprehensive and integrated view of current procedures and methods for the seismic analysis, design and safety evaluation of concrete dams.

The textbook also examines the progress earthquake engineering for concrete dams has experienced over the last 50 years. According to the publisher, the text “develops procedures for dynamic analysis of two-dimensional and three-dimensional models of concrete damns, identifies system parameters that influence their response,” and examines other aspects of earthquake engineering for concrete damns.
