SEISMIC VULNERABII.ITY AND RAPID EVALUATION OR DAMAGE OF EARTII DAM

information on warthquake image ۱۰ ۱۸۳ warldams localed in the seismic arcas ranging from intensity \ - in several arcat carthquakes recently occurred in China is collected in this paper. Having analyzed the above information factors affecting the damage to cart dans are determined: "water depth ratio", base soil condition and seismic intensil.yithe damage degrees are divided into four catcxorics.i.c"Seriously damasced", "Less seriously damaged". "Slightly damaged" and "intact". Damage probabilily marixes representing the scismic vulnerability of carth dams in the evaluation of scisic risk and expressions for the rapid evaluation of damage degree by means of the dctcrministic approach are given respectively. Finally, an cxample is given for the damage evaluation of nearlh dam ly the ۱.ma :pproaches.
