Editorial Reviews

A working group of the Society explains the basic knowledge necessary to understand earthquake engineering in general and to analyze the dynamic response of civil structures. The third volume is devoted to dams that generate electricity and maintain the natural water resources, and industrial facilities including power-generating stations, storage tanks, and piping at nuclear power stations. The Japanese original was published in 1989 by Gihodo Shuppan, Tokyo; the English translation has not been updated to account for findings from the 1994 Northridge or 1995 Kobe earthquakes.
