| Abstract: |
The second chapter of this book concerns the design and construction of earth-fill and rock-fill dams. More specifically, the geotechnical investigation required and the proper construction materials are addressed. The necessary measures for the improvement of the foundation formation are outlined. Issues regarding the design and construction of filters and drains, as well as the water flow through the earth-fill dams are covered in the second chapter. At this point, the dam stability analysis and the face sealings from reinforced concrete and asphaltic concrete are described. Finally, the instrumentation for the monitoring of the earth-fill and rock-fill dam behaviour concludes the second chapter.
