In dam construction, the actual depth to adequate foundation materials at a site is known with certainty only at the points of exploration. The foundation objective serves as a descriptive tool to convey design intent information to construction engineering staff and the contractor. The selection of the most effective approach, or approaches, usually depends on site geology and the amount of av...
