Reassessment of dam foundation stability - the case of three Swiss dams
The paper addresses the case of three Swiss dams, namely Spitallamm arch-gravity dam (in the scope of a project of rehabilitation and heightening), Seeuferegg gravity dam (heightening), and les Toules arch dam (rehabilitation). In 2009, the first two above cases are in the design phase, with construction scheduled during the next decade, whilst the last dam is currently under rehabilitation (2008-2011). The three projects are reviewed with respect to the foundation stability conditions. The approach is similar in all cases: first the existing dam is back-analyzed, with emphasis on the foundation conditions, allowing the cross-checking of the design results with the available monitoring data (benchmarking). Then on this basis, the heightening and/or rehabilitation project is prepared and the most optimized solution in terms of safety but also of construction schedule and technology is recommended.
