  Understanding the Structural Stability of the Tehri Dam: A Comprehensive Analysis

  By Rasmiranjan Samal, Debabrata Giri

  Abstract: The Tehri dam is the highest dam in India. The height of dam is 260 m. It is situated on the Himalayan region which is in earthquake prone region. A Sengupta in 2006 found that the predicted deformation due to an M=7.0 earthquake are not large enough to compromise the safety of the dam. However the deformation predicted by Seed and Makdisi’s method, and Bureau’s method for an M=8.5 earthquake …
