Seismic observation of dams - Guidelines and case studies, ICOL Bulletin 113, 1999
From ASDSO Dam Safety Toolbox
United States Army Corps of Engineers, 2024
This engineer regulation provides policies for the earthquake analysis, evaluation, and design of Civil Works project features. This regulation establishes minimum standards for
serviceability and safety of civil works project features for specific earthquake return periods for ground motion and coincident pool elevations. It also provides requirements for aspects of seismic analysis, evaluation, and design.
This revision, dated 29 May 2024:
- Updates the requirements for the operating basis earthquake ground motion, maximum design earthquake ground motion, and aftershock events.
- Adds definition and requirements for coincident water surface elevation and coincident hydraulic loading.
- Updates various topics, such as (1) consequence-based project feature classification, (2) requirements for bridges and buildings, (3) appurtenant structures, (4) locations of ground motions for analysis, and (5) site seismic hazard classification based on peak ground acceleration.
- Updates discussions on risk-informed design and evaluation.
