Las consecuencias de un gran fracaso presa pueden ser desastrosos. Sin embargo, la predicción del comportamiento de presas de hormigón durante los terremotos es uno de los problemas más complejos y desafiantes en la dinámica estructural. Sobre la base de un enfoque no lineal, Evaluación de la seguridad sísmica de presas de hormigón de un enfoque de comportamiento no lineal permite a los ingenieros construyen modelos que dan cuenta de fenómenos no lineales, como el deslizamiento vertical de las articulaciones, grietas, y la cavitación. Esto produce estimaciones más precisas. Avanzada pero de fácil lectura, este libro es la culminación de la labor llevada a cabo por la Universidad de Tsinghua Grupo de Investigación sobre la Resistencia Terremoto de Presas en las últimas dos décadas
