Description

Alberta Environment owns 14 major dams, which are all classified as "High" to "Very High" consequence dams according to the Canadian Dam Association Guidelines and must therefore be designed to accommodate seismic ground motions resulting from earthquakes with an annual exceedance probability of 1:1000 to 1:10000 without an uncontrolled release of the reservoir. The objective of this study is to provide probabilistic-based ground motions that are derived using a consistent methodology and considering the latest seismicity information, which can be used for all of the 14 major dam sites. These ground motions could potentially be used for dam safety reviews of these facilities on a consistent seismic hazard basis.
