The dam body and foundation seepage is one of the important points in design parameters. This index is related to the permeability. Therefore permeability is one of the basic parameter in design grout curtain, prevent water escape from foundation and avoid ...

Self-hardening cement-bentontie (c-b) slurry walls were constructed as shear walls to stabilize the downstream slope of Tuttle Creek Dam near Manhattan, Kansas. The slope stabilization was required to protect the existing pressure relief well system located ...

Jet grouting has increasingly become one of the ground improvement technologies used to address seepage concerns and to provide strength improvement of soils. The technique of jet grouting uses high pressure/velocity jet fluids to erode the existing soil and ...

Cement-bentonite (c-b) self-hardening slurry walls are being constructed as a seismic retrofit to stabilize the downstream slope of Tuttle Creek Dam in Manhattan, Kansas. A full-scale test program was conducted to evaluate various slurry mixes along with two ...

<p>This paper provides, in tabulated and summarized forms, details from a total of 23 North American dams and levees which have been remediated against seepage and the consequences of seepage, by using some form of &ldquo;positive cut-off.&rdquo; The purpose ...
