Yatesville Lake, Big Sandy River Basin, Blaine Creek, Kentucky. Foundation Report. Construction of Dam and Appurtenant Works, Phase 2. Volume 1
The geology of the Yatesville Lake Dam site and a discussion of how the engineered structures were adopted to the existing foundation conditions is the purpose of this report. Yatesville Dam is located in Eastern Kentucky, near the town of Louisa. Geologically, the area lies within the Cumberland Plateau Section of the Appalachian Plateau Physiographic province. The Pennsylvanian Age rocks are mostly sandstones, shales, coal, and siltstone. The principal features of this work are: a rock-fill dam with a central impervious core, a concrete intate structure, an uncontrolled spillway, a maintenance building, and a paved access road and parking area. The report describes in detail the procedures used to establish foundation grades, excavate and treat the foundation. Pertinent correspondence relating to foundation conditions along with one volume of typical foundation treatment photographs is included. Geologic cross-sections and boring logs are part of this report. Also included is information on the contractors and contract supervision. The physiography and topography of the area are discussed. Excavation, drilling, pile driving and grouting procedures are described.
