An unusual foundation for an arch dam in mauritania
Abstract Between the years of 1981 and 1983 a 45 metres high arch dam was constructed for irrigation purposes at the Gorgol-Noir, a tributary of the Senegal River, in the semi-desert zone of southern Mauritania (Sahel). North of the city of M'bout the Gorgol-Noir erodes through a range of Precambrian metamorphic quartz-schists, trending north to south. The paper describes the investigations—engineering geological and the rock mechanics—undertaken in the course of the design and construction of the dam. Of particular importance were cavities located on the valley sides, proved to be related to shale intercalations.
