Summary

Description of the geological succession in the rock foundation of a rockfill dam is given. The degree of heterogeneity of the physical and mechanical properties of the rocks characterized and engineering measures on prevention of contact seepage in the loam core foundation are substantiated.

Résumé

Dans le présent article, on décrit la coupe géologique des terrains dans la fondation du barrage en enrochements, on caractérise le degré d'hétérogénéité des propriétés physiques et mécaniques des terrains, ainsi qu'on définit les mesures techniques visant à prévenir l'infiltration au contact du noyau en limon avec la fondation.
