Evaluation of the state of the dam and foundation of the Sayano-Shushenskoe Hydroelectric Station and measures to ensure its reliability (based on materials of the expert commission formed by the Engineering Academy of the Russian Federation)
During the first years of operation of the Sayano-Shushenskoe hydrostation deviations from the design premises were detected in the {open_quotes}dam-foundation{close_quotes} system, and some of them can be assigned to the second group of limit states. In connection with this, P.R. Khlopenkov sent a letter to the State Committee for Emergency Situations about the emergency, in his opinion, state of the Sayano-Shushenskoe hydrostation. The indicated letter was the cause for creating an independent expert commission formed by the Engineering Academy of the Russian Federation at the request of O.V. Britvin, vice-president of the Russian Power and Electrification joint-stock company, the task of which included an objective evaluation of the reliability of that structure and, when necessary, giving recommendations aimed at ensuring its further normal operation.
