Preliminary evaluation of induced seismicity at the Karkheh dam site in southwest Iran
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
The reservoir-induced seismicity (RIS) at the Karkheh dam site with a reservoir capacity of about 7.4x109 meters is investigated. Based on the assessment of the seismicity of the dam site in equal time periods before and after reservoir impoundment, it was found that the number of earthquakes have been tripled after impoundment, while their magnitudes and focal depths become smaller. The average earthquake depth before the impoundment was about 40 km whereas it decreased to about 23 km after that. Based on this study, it is concluded that RIS is happening in the Karkheh dam site and it is necessary to study the possible associated hazards.

Statistical Evaluation of Induced Seismicity at the Karkheh Dam, Iran
Karkheh Dam is the largest dam in Iran with a capacity of about 7.4×109 cubic meters and height of 127 meters. Since the first impoundment, increasing in seismic activity in the dam area has been observed that indicates the possible occurrence of reservoir-induced seismicity (RIS).In the present work, a preliminary evaluation is conducted firstly in order to investigate these observations. Base...

A sodium silicate-based chemical grout was used in the Karkheh dam site in order to examine the performance of the chemical grouting technique for stabilization of the dam's filter material. Karkheh, an embankment dam with the reservoir capacity of about 7.4 billion cubic meter at the maximum water level, is the largest dam in Iran. The grouting works performed at the dam site, were part of the...
