TEHRI ROCKFILL DAM

The 260-m high rockfill dam of the Tehri Project in India is to be placed at a site that has complex geology. The dam foundation will be of highly jointed and sheared phyllitic rocks. The region is also seismically active. The design and construction problems examined are: (1) The location of the dam axis; (2) the dam section; (3) the approach to static and dynamic stability analysis; and (4) the foundation treatment. /ASCE/
