Case studies of earthquake-induced cracking of earth dams (2000 to 2023)

<p>The dataset is in Excel format and is the result of high-quality information gathered from case studies on earthquake-induced cracking of earth dams, from 2000 to 2023. It includes 385 dams and 21 earthquakes around the world. The data is organized into three groups: Dam Information, Earthquake Information, and Damage Information. Each group is divided into sub-groups that include information collected or calculated.</p>

<p>There are two additional files: one with the description of the entries in the database, and the other with a list of all the references cited for each case study. The information presented in the database can be used by designers to improve the seismic resilience of embankments and earth dams, as well as by researchers to advance our knowledge on the seismic response of these structures and to develop new numerical models or calibrate or verify existing ones.</p>
