Development of Seismoacoustic Method of Quality Control of Placement of Rubble-Clayey Soils in a Dam Body

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The results of combined geotechnical and geophysical studies of compacted rubble-clayey soil conducted on an experimental embankment for the purpose of developing a seismoacoustic method of quality control of the placement of this soil in a dam body are presented. Recommendations on determining the soil parameters being inspected are given.
