Validation of Dynamic Analyses of Dams and Their Equipment: Edited Contributions to the International Symposium on the Qualification of Dynamic Analyses of Dams and their Equipments, 31 August-2 September 2016, Saint-Malo, France

Description

"The International Symposium on the Qualification ofDynamic Analyses of Dams and their Equipments and of Probabilistic Assessment of Seismic Hazard in Europe is the first annual meeting of the ICOLD European Club Working Group "Dams and Earthquakes". Many kinds ofseismic methods are available and detailedanalyses are required by new stringent regulations in Europe. In response to this, key questions at this conference are: "How to define a seismic hazard?", "How are the seismic hazard assessment and dynamic analyses validated?" and "What are the evidences of flaws or accuracy that you have experimented?". CFBR invited JCOLD experts to present and discuss qualification of seismic analyses."--Provided by publisher.  Read more...
