Generalised technique for the estimation of probable maximum precipitation in India [PDF]
In this paper a version of a generalised method of estimating probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is applied to the catchments of four large dams in India. The value of a secure dam is high both in terms of human life and in economic terms.

Elastic and plastic wetting mechanical parameters of rockfill based on deformation law
Wetting deformation is part of the main post-completion deformation of earth-rock dams, which has important influences on the stress deformation behavior of dam body and the safety of dam body for the initial impoundment.
