      Look my knowledge of civil engineering is limited but two things here: 1. if it's "deforming," some sort of design limit is being exceeded 2. the CCP has not had a sudden stroke of transparency and the problem is likely much worse than they're admitting https://asiatimes.com/2020/07/three-gorges-dam-deformed-but-safe-say-operators/ …

      Mechanical engineer. Deformation (deflection) is always happening to anything under any load. There are acceptable limits to the amount of deformation per material and design (far below the transition to plastic deformation)

      Hmm If it's normal, any reason for them to announce it, then? 🤔

      Not sure, just providing context on deformation in engineering. It’s possible that it deformed beyond the prescribed limits, but that would imply a very very poor design or cheap/negligent construction, both of which are possible. But the factor of safety is supposed to be >2.

          It started construction in 1992 and it was mostly completed by 1998. Anecdotal Warning: Visited in 1998 via Three Gorges/Chongqing before the reservoir behind it filled and the whole region (regular folks) was up in arms about corrupt officials buying lo on below-spec concrete.
