Conclusions
-
1.
Soviet hydrotechnical practice presently has some experience in constructing cast asphaltic concrete ABCW.
-
2.
Various methods of placing asphaltic concrete in cutoff walls have been developed. Their rational combination makes it possible to overcome technological difficulties of construcing an asphaltic concrete cutoff wall as a whole and its individual parts.
