Summary On March 2005, the River Bureau of MLIT issued "Guidelines for Seismic Performance Evaluation of Dams during Large Earthquakes (Draft)." Before practical application of the Guidelines, we required further study for verification with existing dams. Therefore, the Guidelines are used as "Draft" during trial implementation for verification. Based on the knowledge obtained during trial implementation, we proposed the revision of the Guidelines.
