Lateritic soils for dam foundations and dam cores - Two case studies and their typical properties
The present paper discusses both the principal properties of lateritic clay soils as foundation and construction materials, and the derived conclusions for the pore water pressure development in a rockfill dam with clay core on a residual soil foundation. Special attention is given to the consolidation behavior of a typical rockfill dam with a lateritic clay core founded on lateritic clay foundation. The data basis for this paper was obtained both from literature review, and from site data collected for hydropower projects in Laos and Uganda. The aim of this paper is to provide a rough overview of some important engineering aspects of lateritic clays, and to present a simple method for the estimation of pore water pressure dissipation if lateritic clays are used as dam core material and/or foundation.
