Uniaxial compressive creep tests were carried out for granite sampled from Three Gorges Project (TGP) site in China at seven temperatures from 20°C to 300°C in order to determine the parameters C , Ci, Cr and Cj in eq. (25). The curves of creep compliance vs. time in logarithmic coordinates...

The lower inflation rate in China since 1994 has allowed the cost to be reduced from 203.9 billion Yuan to about 180 billion Yuan or US 25 billion (China Three Gorges Project Corporation, 2006, 2007). This cost is expected to be recovered when the electricity output reaches 1000 TWh at a selling price of 250 billion Yuan ( US 30 billion), estimated to occur in about 10 years after the dam reaches full operation in 2011 (China Culture Mall Trading Group, Inc., 2007). 

Presumably when the debts are paid off, the Three Gorges Dam Project will generate funds that can be used by the China Three Gorges Project Corporation for new projects or to reduce energy costs in China.
