State of the dam at the Zeya hydroelectric station with consideration of the geodynamic effect
- and others
The buttress dam of the Zeya hydroelectric station has already been operating successfully for 20 years under complex climatic, geological, and seismological conditions. Additional difficulties are created by some uncertainty of the interaction of the structure with the geological environment subjected to tectonic movements. The seismotectonic conditions of the region of the Zeya reservoir are determined by proximity to the boundary of two large structural zones with a different character of tectonic movements: regions of the uplift of the Tukuringra-Soktokhan Range and the downwarping Amur-Zeya Plateau. This boundary is represented by the Pkan fault located about 1 km from the dam on the downstream side.
