The authors determine design and engineering parameters for a hydroelectric dam constructed of soil and pebbles and faced with asphalt from the stand point of its mechanical behavior and deformation under the effect of a seismic event. Optimal slope gradients are established for the materials under consideration. Seismic effects at all stages of dam life--from construction to reservoir filling to actual full-capacity operation--are incorporated into the analysis. Limiting values of stress and strain are established under seismic and hydrostatic loading.
