The justification of the design of the junction of the loam face of the foundation and film face of the slope of the head reservoir of Zaragizhskaya SHPP
Given are the results of comprehensive laboratory-field studies and design justification of the design of junction of the loam foundation face and film face of the slope of the head reservoir of Zaragizhskaya SHPP. There have been defined the values of the current gradients for the actual and three variants of the designs for which there were selected inverse filters conditioned local materials for the recommended design. Seepage strength of the soil materials as well as the junction loam-geomembrane-loam were investigated. The recommendations on the design of the junction of the loam face of the foundation and film face of the slope of the head reservoir and production technology for repair work of the junction were given.
