The papers included in this publication were presented at three symposia on seismicity and seismic design for embankment dams and underground openings. Primary topics for discussion include: (1) Seismicity and the design earthquake; (2) the design of embankment dams including seismic forces as well as methods to improve the stability of existing structures; and (3) static and dynamic design considerations for underground openings in various rock conditions and underground structures subjected to explosive loads. In each case state-of-the-art technology was sought to provide practicing engineers with techniques that can be used for design of these types of structures.
