Discussion centered on three major fields of concern for earthquake engineering research: soils, structures, and geology/seismology. Emphasis was given to ongoing research and development directly related to the earthquake analysis for evaluating dam safety. It was observed that there exists reasonable agreement between member agencies as to the methodology for evaluating seismic safety of earth/rock-fill and concrete dams. As a result of discussions centered on strong-motion instrumentation and the mutual desire to improve the existing strong-motion data base, the following decisions were made: (a) Request IRCC member agencies to expedite dissemination of strong-motion data, (b) Contact USCOLD to determine the availability of a compilation of strong-motion data for dam installations worldwide and distribute these to IRCC member agencies, and (c) Establish liaison to avoid redundancy of strong-motion instrumentation at dams in close proximity of one another.
Disaster preparedness and response management is a burgeoning field of technological research, and staying abreast of the latest developments within the field is a difficult task. Geotechnical Applications for Earthquake Engineering: Research Advancements has collected chapters from experts from around the world in a variety of applications, frameworks, and methodologies, and prepared them in a form that serves as a handy reference and research guide to practitioners and academics alike. By protecting society with earthquake engineering, the latest research can make the world a safer place.
