Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment at Maheshwar Hydel Project Dam Site

Abstract

Maheshwar Hydrolectric Project is constructed across the river Narmada in the downstream of famous Narmada Sagar multipurpose project in the state of Madhya Pradesh (India). In this study seismic hazard has been assessed at Maheshwar Dam site. Effects of all the faults, which can produce earthquake equal to or more than 3.5 Magnitude and those within a radius of 300 Km from the centre of the Concrete Gravity Dam have been considered. The past history of earthquakes indicated that a total 52 earthquakes, of magnitude 3.5 or more have been occurred in last 172 years. The maximum magnitude reported within the region of consideration is 6.2 in a 1938 in Satpura range. The probabilistic Seismic Hazard analysis has been used. Results are presented in the form of peak ground acceleration and seismic hazard curves.
