Safety and coping strategy for high dam under complex natural conditions

In respect to current situation and new challenges for high dam construction in China,safety problems are analyzed for high dam construction under complex natural conditions such as high elevation,cold area,high seismic intensity,large-scale landslide and high dam and huge reservoirs with dam types such as concrete surface rock-fill,asphalt concrete core,roller compacted concrete(RCC) arch dam and so on.From several aspects,including risk response measures for high dam,strengthening safety awareness for high dam design and construction,improving high dam construction technique,intelligent dam safety management system based on IT,developing dam rehabilitation and maintenance technologies,useful dam safety and coping strategy is proposed.
