India is
witnessing an upsurge in the hydel power projects and
consequently in the construction of new concrete gravity dams.
The seismic safety of such dams has been a serious concern since
damage to the Koyna Dam in India in 1967 which has been regarded
as a watershed event in the development of seismic analysis and
design of concrete gravity dams all over the world. It is
essential that those responsible must implement policies and
procedures to ensure seismic safety of dams through sound
professional practices and state-of-the-art in related technical
areas. Seismic safety of dams concerns public safety and
therefore demands a higher degree of public confidence.
The seminar will focus on issues and best
practices towards seismic safety of concrete gravity dams, with
special reference to state-of-the-practice in India and the
United States. The seminar will enable the concerned
professionals to appreciate various aspects of the concrete
gravity design and construction which relate to its seismic
safety. It will provide an excellent opportunity to share the
information and ideas on the topic. |
