Abstract
This paper gives a series of case histories of earth dams which have been damaged by strong earthquakes in the past 25 years in China. These damages include slides, cracks, settlements leakages and also some appurtenant structure failures. Experiences show it is necessary to stringently control the design and construction to resist earthquakes.

Some Experiences from Damages of Embankments During Strong Earthquakes China
This paper gives a series of case histories of earth dams which have been damaged by strong earthquakes in the past 25 years in China. These damages include slides, cracks, settlements leakages and also some appurtenant structure failures. Experiences show it is necessary to stringently control the design and construction to resist earthquakes.
