Problems of earth dam construction in the deccan trap of India

Agarwal, K. B. / Joshi, D. K.

Summary The Deccan Traps of India are formed of normal augite basalt, which on decomposition in place and a long cycle of secondary changes resulted in the formation of an expansive soil. This paper discusses the problems of earth dam construction on Deccan Traps of India, including the sophistication of the material with respect to engineering and geological aspects.
