Acknowledgments
ОглавлениеI am grateful to several individuals who helped in preparation of this book:
Dr. Arnkjell Løkke, whose Ph.D. research is the basis for Chapter 11, prepared many of the figures in Chapters 2–7.
Dr. N. Simon Kwong participated in the preparation of Chapter 13 in several ways; he generated numerical results, developed figures, provided advice, and reviewed drafts. He also reviewed the first part of Chapter 12 and developed its figures.
Professor Jinting Wang provided information on seismic design of Dagangshan Dam. Based on original reports in Chinese, he prepared the first draft of Section 14.4.
Professor Pierre Léger advised on a broad range of topics in several ways. He was generous in sharing his vast knowledge over many long conversations and in providing many publications; his command of the published literature was truly impressive. He also reviewed Chapters 11 and 12.
Dr. Robin K. McGuire reviewed the first part of Chapter 12 and advised on seismic risk analysis concepts and methods.
Larry K. Nuss advised on several practical aspects of design and evaluation of concrete dams, and provided publications by several government agencies.
Claire M. Johnson, a partner from beginning to end, prepared and edited the text, assembled the manuscript, and helped in too many ways to enumerate here.
Clare Romeo served as the copy editor and proofreader.
