Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Construction of dams by the flow-line technology provides a high rate of their construction with minimum labor expenditures.

  2. 2.

    Construction of rock embankments from a rock mass by the method of compaction due to the kinetic energy of impact provides sufficiently reliable compaction of the fill.

  3. 3.

    By such a method it is possible to construct embankments from strong rocks. Weak rocks at the time of impact will be broken, not providing reliable compaction of the fill.
