Engineering geological problems related to the study, design and construction of dam foundations
Summary This paper contains a report on the subject of Theme 1 of the International Symposium on “Engineering Geological problems in hydrotechnical construction”. General considerations about the engineering geological problems related to dam foundations are summarized and a methodology for the study of dam foundation rock masses is presented. This methodology is based on the following basic concepts:the study should be conducted in different steps, progressively using more sophisticated methods of investigation adequated to the different stages of the project;these progressive studies should enable the engineering geological zoning of the foundation rock mass;the safety of a dam in relation with its foundations depends not only on the characteristics of each engineering geological zone but also on the eventual presence of adverse major discontinuities. The report stresses the statistic value of the results of the quickest and less expensive investigation works and tests and its relation with the engineering geological zoning of the foundation rock masses.
