The study of the reliability and safety constructed earth-fill dams comparison with their design calculated data makes it possible to improve structures methods calculation substantiation these structures. This work aims filtration dam Channel water reservoir Tuyamuyun hydroelectric complex (THC) on Amu Darya River, which was put into exploitation in 1984. Field studies were carried out accordi...

Seismic methods were used to locate an impermeable water barrier (density body), constructed in front of a homogenous earth-fill dam (Prätisbach) in Eastern Styria, Austria. This detention reservoir, built in 1985/86, was constructed of locally mined materials. Key to this structures functionality is its impermeable core located within the upstream toe of the dam and parallel to the dam axis. T...
