Conclusions
-
1.
The effect that can be attained as a result of application of the hydraulicking method of building dams is quite significant; in selecting the design of a dam, we cannot be restricted to traditional dam designs and universally adopted schemes for their construction. In each specific case, a careful search should be made of both the design of the dam and the technology of its construction as applies to the natural-geologic conditions.
-
2.
Hydromechanization cannot be treated as a seasonal work method; the length of the season should be substantiated from the design in each specific case.
-
3.
An increase in the level of mechanization of strictly hydraulicking operations should be classed as one of the priority problems facing technologists and designers working in the field of hydromechanization.
-
4.
Organizational and technical measures providing for a sharp acceleration in the implementation of solutions that have already been tested for the improvement of equipment for hydromechanization should be developed and put in practice.
