Earthquake resistance of rock-fill dams
Tests on effects of earthquakes on rock fill dams with earthen cores were performed on 1/150 scale models of two types of dams, one having inclined core near upstream face, and other having central core; models were subjected simultaneously to water loadings and to simulated earthquakes; test results show that rock fill dams inherently are very resistant to earthquakes because of their flexible structure.
