This guide assesses the seriousness of seismic risk and proposes criteria for earthquake safety evaluation of existing UK dams. It relates specifically to the safety of UK dams and reservoirs under seismic loading although it should also be useful in the design of new dams. The guide is relevant to all forms of dam construction.
