A few years ago there was sever flooding upstream from the 3 Gorges Dam. It washed so much fucking garbage and debris into the dam. That it was clogging up the flood gates and the water intakes for the power plant. Combined with the huge volume of water behind the damn. The Chinese government was worried the dam would be damaged. So they sent the army out on little boats to pick up trash out water.
There is a ship lift at once end of the dam. I would cargo ship full of ammonia nitrate fertilizer. Schedule it to go up the river and use the ship lift. Once in the lift the ship's own fuel oil will be pumped into the fertilizer cargo hold. Where it is then detonated by barrel full of C4, remotely. The chinese crew on the ship will be unaware of this of course. Then the CIA releases a fake Aloha Snakebar video. Where a Uighur group claiming to be ISIS aligned takes credit.

Dump spent fuel rods in the reservoir. Let the radiation contaminate a huge chunk of chinese farmland and poison hundreds of millions of peoples' drinking water.
Source the fuel rods from India though. China and IAEA might be able to trace the fuel rods' origin by looking at composition of trace element isotopes.
>>29779439
Hmm ultra high altitude drop from a "cargo" liner. Same plane same flight path special compartment. Drops on rod per flight one flight per night. Eveynight till you are out of n korean or pakistani or indian fuel roda
>>29778302
sail the USS New Jersey to the Yahtzee River and use overwhelming Battleship firepower
or else send sf forces by glider and sabotage the dam
or create a factions of wannabe imperial romans and post apocalyptic version of california to fight over there,it probably wouldn't destroy but it'll be very entertaining
>>29778302
Silt.
Yes, really. The silt builds up very quickly behind the dam and they know th dam has a finite life time because of this. So the simplest safest way is to accelerate the process and get more silt into the water reaching the dam.

WHO YOU GONNA CALL?

t. Committee of Chinese engineers
You've got a massive wall of concrete to burn through basically. Dropping bombs would most likely do a good amount of superficial damage but that's it. I don't think explosives in the water would get through because they'd just reach the filters or something and explode there. What you need is to breach the dam then catastrophic failure will occur in what case everything else will collapse.
Here are a few (probably idiotic) ideas:
Large bomb in the water against the dam wall. This would make a massive impact on the wall through cavitation and you might be able to make it crumble that way.
Or dig under it and blow a large bomb there, weakening the foundation and structural integrity.
Or you can get a large amount of explosives in the tunnels that probably go through there and explode them, with the pressure at least one of the sides would explode, weakening the structure.
You could also find the resonance frequency of the dam and make artificial waves to that frequency to make it crumble.
If you can bore holes through it you just place them vertically and fill them with explosives, destroying the dam like they do in mines.
>>29783011
You're saying that if you blast sound waves at the right frequency you can cause structural damage to the dam? Is there any footage of this on a large scale?
>>29779171
>>29782452
I'm amazed it took so long for anybody to come up with the correct answer.
>>29783040
not necessarily sound, but like a steel bar with a mechanism to make it vibrate at a certain frequency, mythbusters did it with a steel bridge and something like a 2 KG weight, and was able to make the bridge vibrate to all fuck. I mean could not place a half filled cup because it would shake all the liquid out vibrate.
(Not the guy you were responding to BTW)
>>29778604

>>29783011
You don't even need to completely destroy the dam, just structurally compromise it and let gravity and the millions of tons of water its holding up do the rest. The Allies were rendering countless heavily fortified German superbunkers useless because Tall Boys and Grand Slams did exactly that.
>>29783161
Because we already hve fucktons of steel foundrys?
>>29778302
About a half dozen Tomahawks with bunker busters into the north bank foundation will do it. You could also do it with thermobarics against any of the unstable hillsides upstream of the dam. Drop a big enough chunk of dirt into the reservoir, you get a tsunami over the top. This accelerates the existing scouring problem along the footings, and kaplooie. Away it goes.

No. The international society of engineers, but it's not like they know how bunker busters work.
>>29783161
But we do. We literally do. We even used some of their steel on the Golden Gate reconstruction.
Funny enough it wasn't the right size because the bridge bended inbetween the time it was ordered and the time it arrived.
>>29783774
I'd say the number of hits would need to be significantly more than just 6.
This thing is literally the biggest and thickest dam ever constructed.
>>29784046
Yes, but there is also a Ship Lift. Which is right next to the dam.
>>29783951
Even now, after getting raped by globalization, America still produces about 70-80% of the steel it needs.
>>29784115
A big enough bomb or ten would do.
Question is if the Chinese will let that happen. It is extremely far inland and they have means to intercept most missiles.
Also, they have downstream dams like 3GD. Funny right?

That's about 500m from the main structure bro.
>>29784451
Yes.
Also you underestimate the radiation shielding properties of water.
You could dump hundreds of fuel rods right next to the dam, and safely swim on the surface.
What matters is corrosion taking particles downstream and being consumed.
>>29784372
I can look at the results of cruise missile strikes and the fact the 3DG is the thickest and largest structure in the world.

China produces a vast majority of the global steel supply today.

With the dodgiest engineering and untried concepts ever. No seismological study, other than some blue-sky handwaving. It was causing seismic problems and killing people with earthquakes before it was even done filling.
The submerged flume design has been proven to cause extensive scouring problems and footing failures in dams that are considerably smaller, with significantly less flow.
The face, footings, and foundations are already showing signs of accelerated failure.
There are no fail-safe features incorporated into the dam design, when it fails it'll be sudden and catastrophic. Independent engineering studies estimate that TGD has a 5% chance of failure in any given year.

>>29781468
>How
"Assist" people with subsidies in dredging harbours above the dam. Correct procedure for this is to remove the mass and transport it away and deposit it on land. If you have actually been involved in dredging you know that the removal process is rather expensive and the dirty trick used is to use a long backhoe to stir the silt vigorously. The silt then gets into the water and is deposited a long, long way downstream.
Harbours downstream will also be increasingly interested in dredging (partly why this is illegal) and then just repeat the process.
The buildup behind the dam will increase dramatically. Do this during spring flooding and you have an alibi. The massive corruption in China means that you can count on the operation going for a long time since it saves money in each harbour.
>>29787681
>Coordinated DDOS off an erosion server?
Basically, yes.
>>29784091
>You know how silt excavation works?

Also Iran has become known for superior cement and concrete. This is giving the US problems wrt. bombs.
Guns/bombs vs. armor/cement is an old race and many countries find it more cost effective to improve protection with steel and better cement/concrete than newer/bigger/larger anti aircraft.
This approach is popular in countries that expect an uninvited visit from US bombers.
>>29789007
You didn't pay attention at all, did you. It is also painfully obvious you have never been involved in the dredging business.
>>29788898

>>29787153
Roughly 20% of the population of China lives downstream. If the dam goes, the country gets gutted like a fish. Something like 80% of their arable land gets drowned in toxic industrial sewage sludge. Environmentally, it would be orders of magnitude bigger than Deepwater Horizon.
It'll happen within your lifetime.

I'm going to say drop some very big bombs in the water on the side of the dam that the water is highest on, have the bomb sink down a bit into the water and then kaboom. Shock waves from the blast underwater blow up the dam or severely damage it to the point it's not usable and is structurally unsound taking it offline.
