3rd Meeting of EWG Dams and Earthquakes
An International Symposium
Lisbon, LNEC - April 18 - 20, 2018

Third Meeting of EWG Dams and EarthquakesAn International Symposium

This international symposium is the third annual meeting of the ICOLD European Club Working
Group ”Dams and Earthquakes”, following the very successful events in St.Malo and Rome. The
effective application of the demanding regulations for the seismic safety of dams requires advanced
and robust models and methods of analysis. There are many outstanding issues, namely those
related to the definition of seismic hazard, the dynamic behaviour of materials and structures, or the
numerical techniques, which need to be tested and validated. In this meeting, experts are invited
to discuss all these issues. The deliverables of the symposium will be fundamental packages of
qualification of seismic analyses: case studies of comparison of model results with experimental
data, measurements of dam response under seismic events or dynamic monitoring.

Themes

- Definition of seismic hazard for dams
- Measurements of response of concrete or embankment dams under earthquakes
- Dynamic monitoring and testing of dams
- Comparison of numerical models with dynamic field measurements
- Qualification of equipment under seismic loading
