Embankment pore pressures during construction
Construction characteristics and pore pressure data from 10 Corps of Engineers dams, 24 USBR dams, and 9 foreign dams are summarized and compared; because of numerous factors which influence pore pressure buildup, broad conclusions for all earth dams are difficult to make and each dam must be treated individually with respect to predicting construction pore pressures; provisions for internal drainage effectively relieve construction pore pressures in earth embankments; pore-pressure ratios in embankment materials increase rapidly as placement-water content increases, especially above optimum water content; pore pressures increase with increasing dam height.
