SINDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT
Holes are drilled at shallow as well as deep and cement grouting is filled to establish an
effective barrier to seepage under the dam and to consolidate the foundation.
A, Consolidation grouting
Low-pressure grouting to fill voids, fracture zones, and cracks at and below the surface of the
excavated foundation is accomplished by drilling and grouting relatively shallow holes.
B , Curtain grouting
Curtain Grouting Construction of a deep grout curtain near the heel of the dam to control
seepage is accomplished by drilling deep holes and grouting them using higher pressure
foundationof a concret gravity dam. It is frequently used at all the other types of dam too and
is usually carried out before the dam is built over it.
C , BLANKET GROUTING
This type of grouting
strengthens an area rather
than forming a curtain as
shown above.The illustration
shows its use at the
D, Dental treatment:
The procedure of reinforcing and stabilizing weak zones during drilling action and final
excavation is called dental treatment.
E, Cut-off
Is imprevious borrier constructed at shallow depth to ensure the H2O tightness of the dam
foundation.
F, Plastic diaphragm
It is impervious borreir carried out by the plastic structure.ss
River Diversion
Before the dam can be constructed, diversion
of the river is necessary
Satisfactory handling of the stream flow during
construction is vital to the success of the work
cost of river diversion must be compared with the risk
of all or parts of the new dam in peak flood
conditions
types of diversion
tunnel, flume, concrete or steel pipeline and open channel .
III. Through culverts in the body of the dam Example: Gilgel Gibe
Hydroelectric project.
3. What factors you will keep in mind while selecting a suitable
site for a dam reservoir?
It is almost impossible to select a perfect aidial reservoir site, but its selection is gided by the
following factors
1, a suitable dam site is available the cost of the dam is generally a controlling factor in the
selection of a reservoir site .
2; the geological formation for the reservoir bank walls etc..should be such as to entail
minimum lakege .
3,the geology of the catchment area should be such as to entail minimum water losses through
absorption and percolation .
4, the site should be such that a deep reservoir if formed . a deep reservoir is prefered to a
shallow one because of lower land cost per unit of capacity less evaporation loss and less
possibility of weed growth .
7; the reservoir basin should have a deep narrow opening in the valley, so that the length of the
dam is minimum.

a) Forces, such as weight of the dam and water pressure, which are directly
calculable from the unit weights of the materials
It is convenient to compute all the forces per unit length of the dam.
