by M. Salembier,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Concrete Face Rockfill Dams?Design, Construction, and Performance

Abstract:

A synthetic sealing membrane was used to prevent excessive leakage through the facing of an embankment dam. The works, which were completed rapidly and at low cost, enabled the reservoir to be fully impounded while maintaining a low leakage rate.
