SYNOPSIS
Tarbela Dam which is by volume (105 million rn3) the world's largest earth and rock filled dams is
located on the middle Indus River in northern Pakistan. Having a length at crest of 2.7 Km and
maximum height 143 m, its reservoir has an area of about 100 Sq. Krns, with a maximum depth of about
130 rn and gross capacity of 13.7 Km3.
Complete first impounding of reservoir was carried out
during 1975 and since then i t has completed twelve filling-release cycles.
To study the induced seismic behaviour of Tarbela Reservoir data analysis regarding number of
seismic events and energy release has been carried out, taking an area of 50 Km radius around
Tarbela Dam.
Local Scale was used for magnitude calculations and the energy releases were computed
through Richter's formula:
LogE= 9.9 + 1.9M- 0.024M3
SEISMOTECTONIC FEATURES AROUND THE PROJECT
INTRODUCTION
Tarbela Dam which is by volume (105 million rn)
the world's largest earth and rock filled darn
is located on the Indus River in northern
Pakistan. This location is about 70 Km northwest of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
The multipurpose Project consists of a Main
Darn, two Auxiliary Darns (AD-1 & AD-2) , two
Spillways and a Power Station.
Its Main
Embankment Dam has a length at crest of
2.75 Kms and maximum height of 143 meters.
Reservoir has an area of 100 Sq. Kms, with a
maximum depth of about 130 meters and gross
capacity of 13.7 Krns.3.
The Reservoir was first filled up to a
height of 110 meters during August 1974, and
then rapidly depleated.
First full impounding
of Reservoir was carried out during 1975 summer
and since then it has completed thirteen
fillings and reals cycles.
Maximum height to
which reservoir is filled during each summer is
137 meters.
The Power Station of Tarbela Dam Project
presently consists of 10 generating units.
Each of these units has a maximum power
generating capacity of 175 Megawatts.
Installation of four new units (11-14) with a maximum capacity of 425 MW each has started, which
are expected to be completed by the end of
1990.
