Seismic Rehabilitations of Miyun Reservoir
Publication: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics IV
Abstract
During the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake, a liquefaction-induced slope failure occurred at the upstream slope of one main earth dams of the Miyun Reservoir in the suburb of Beijing, China. Later, the reservoir was dewatered and the dam repaired. Between 1998 and 2001, a major seismic rehabilitation project was carried out on several dams of the reservoir after potential seismic stability problems were found during a safety inspection. This paper reports the techniques and construction methods used in the two rehabilitations.
