Preface<\/p>\n

The Second International Conference on Long Term Behaviour of Dams, LTBD09, takes place at
\nGraz University of Technology, Austria from October 12 to 13, 2009. The city of Graz, where the
\ncampus of the University of Technology is located, was the European Capital of Culture of the year
\n2003. The impressive Old Town belongs to the best preserved in Europe and is on the UNESCO
\nlist of World Culture Heritages. Graz has four universities with about 40,000 students. One of them
\nis Graz University of Technology, a long-established institution of scientific research and teaching
\nin Austria, which covers the areas of engineering sciences and technical natural sciences.
\nThe Conference LTBD09 is the second international conference based on the scientific and
\ntechnical co-operation between Graz University of Technology (Graz, Austria), Vienna University of
\nTechnology (Vienna, Austria), the University of Innsbruck (Innsbruck, Austria), Hohai University
\n(Nanjing, China) and Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) and it is jointly organized by these five
\nuniversities. The First International Conference was launched at Hohai University in 2008 with the
\nmain aim of encouraging an exchange of views between engineers, scientists and operators on
\nvarious aspects related to the long term behaviour of dams. Encouraged by the success of the First
\nConference the Second Conference aimed to provide another excellent opportunity to present and
\nexchange experiences and the latest developments related to the design, performance and
\nrehabilitation of earth dams, rockfill dams and concrete dams including roller compacted and
\nconventional concrete dams. The high number of abstracts submitted for the conference clearly
\nshows that this goal has been achieved. The papers included in these proceedings have been
\npeer-reviewed and selected for presentation at LTBD09. The contributions are divided into the
\nfollowing five topic areas:
\n\u2022 Methods of Design and Analysis of Dams
\n\u2022 Dam Monitoring and Instrumentation
\n\u2022 Properties of Construction Materials for Dams and their Constitutive Modelling
\n\u2022 Seismic Aspects and Earthquake Analysis
\n\u2022 Dam Safety Assessment, Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Heightening
\nOn behalf of the Organizing Committee I would like to express our profound gratitude to those who
\nassumed the Auspices over the conference as well as to the members of the International Advisory
\nCommittee and the supporting organizations. I am indebted to the co-chairs of the Organizing
\nCommittee, the chairmen and co-chairmen of the sessions, the sponsors and all other colleagues
\nfor their support. My sincere gratitude goes to Graz University of Technology, and in particular to
\nRector Hans S\u00fcnkel, for providing an excellent scientific environment. I am grateful for the support
\nof Christine Vitas, Karin Bauer and Harald Breinh\u00e4lter from the conference office. Finally I would
\nlike to thank all the conference participants for their interest in the conference and their scientific contributions.<\/p>\n
