Abstract
Immediately after the earthquake, emergency inspections of dams were carried out in a wide area around the epicenter, and Public Works Research Institute made inspection visits to dam sites to investigate the effects on the dams. Their results are reported in this report. Emergency inspections and investigation by PWRI confirmed that there was no major damage to dams, excluding some slight effects, nor other problems seriously affecting dam safety or requiring immediate protective countermeasures.
Meanwhile many acceleration records were obtained at dam foundations, and they are also showed in this report.
