Ambuklao Rock-Fill Dam, Design And Construction
The problems of designing and constructing a 430 ft high, vertical core rock fill dam are described herein. As nearly as can be determined, this is the highest dam of this type in the world now operating at maximum reservoir level. In addition to the dam, the Ambuklao project consists of a chute spillway, an underground powerhouse, and a low level outlet works. The river was diverted through three tunnels in the right abutment of the canyon, two of the tunnels being converted for use as a power tunnel and a low level outlet tunnel after diversion.
Field exploration and sampling, coordinated with laboratory and field testing, provided a sound basis for the selection and design of the dam.
Records of settlement and seepage after operation at maximum reservoir bear out the adequacy of design and construction procedures.
