Research on Clay-Cement Concrete in Anti-Filtration Elements of Earth Dams at Freeze-Thaw Temperatures

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

This article presents and analyzes the results of a study on the frost resistance of clay-cement concrete used for repairing the anti-filtration element of the earth dam at the Kurei Hydropower Plant (HPP), made in the form of a wall in the ground. It is concluded that the material of this composition can be used to create and repair anti-filtration elements in other dams. The need to develop a special method for conducting laboratory tests of clay-cement concrete samples, which differ in physical and technical characteristics from conventional concrete, is highlighted.
