The advances in seismic design of earth-rockfill dams and foundations and the revision of code for seismic design of hydraulic structures in China(SL203-97/DL5073-2000) are presented based on research results and lessons from Wenchuan Earthquake disasters. The main revisions and advances focus on four aspects:(1) Seismic fortification criterion and its basic principles, in which the seismic design criterion, design parameters of ground motions and method for determining seismic waves are revised. For especi...
