Abstract
Fill dams of height 50 meters or more are increasingly being planned, designed and constructed in highly seismic areas of the world. These dams incorporate various earthquake design measures. The design measures have been critically examined. Design guides with respect to free board, core base width, crest width, type and material of core and material of shells have been reviewed. Some examples of actual changes made in the design, for the seismicity of the region have been given (Table II). Finally, a table of pertinent data of over 50 high dams located in highly seismic areas of the world is included (Table I).
