Abstract
The performance of dams subjected to earthquakes is addressed with particular emphasis of recent earthquakes. Analysis of dams stability during earthquakes by experimental and mathematical models is referred. Foundation studies for soil and rock materials are described and assessment of liquefaction potential is discussed. Selection of design earthquakes by deterministic and probabilistic criteria is presented. Also neotectonics and attenuation relations are described. Monitoring and dam safety during construction and operation are addressed. Reservoir induced seismicity and prototype dynamic tests are treated. Ageing effects and rehabilitation of dams are discussed. Benefits and concerns of dams are referred. Risk analysis is addressed. Some final considerations and topics for discussions are presented.
