Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The formation of a clay antiseepage wall is accompanied by the settlement of its upper boundary as a result of the lateral outflow of filtrate through the edge of the curtain.

  2. 2.

    The properties of the filler and soil surrounding the body of the antiseepage wall have a significant effect on the settlement.

  3. 3.

    To fill the settlement cavity that is formed, it is necessary to specify an additional amount of clayey-soil of fluid consistency as determined from the equation Qadd= 2lSL, where L is the length of the curtain in m.
