"In Europe and elsewhere the economically feasible water resources have been greatly developed until the 1970s. \nAlthough large dams belong to the first structures, which have been designed systematically against earthquakes \nsince the 1930s, the seismic safety of these dams is unknown, as most of them have been designed using seismic \ndesign criteria and methods of analysis that are considered obsolete today. The fact that no major dams have \nfailed during earthquakes and that few lives have been lost (except in the case of tailings dam failures) may give \nthe impression that well-designed dams are safe against earthquakes. We need to re-evaluate the seismic safety \nof existing dams based on current state-of-the-art practice and rehabilitate existing dams if necessary. \nAdditionally, there are a large number of smaller dams, especially earth structures, which were built for \nirrigation or water supply by organisations or villagers with little experience in dam construction. Earthquake \neffects on these dams have rarely been considered."^^ . "2006-09" . . . . . . . . "Martin"^^ . "Wieland"^^ . "Martin Wieland"^^ . .
