Abstract
There are no “complete” instrumental records of the response of an earth dam to a strong earthquake; even limited records for smaller shocks are scarce. “Complete” signifies records capable of providing an adequate definition of input ground motion and dam structural response; a better picture of behavior requires records of soil and pore-water pressures as well.Keywords
