Abstract

Grouting is one of the most popular methods used to control water leakage in dam constructions. The geological and engineering geological properties of the rock/soil to be grouted are important parameters influencing the design of the grouting. In this study, the geotechnical properties of Deriner Dam’s foundation rock and the grouting procedure used for it were investigated to ascertain its suitability for grouting. Detailed investigations were conducted to unravel the reasons for and types of foundation grouting applications used on the main rock in Deriner Dam. The materials used in the grouting and the grouting pressures employed were investigated onsite, and the results obtained are presented in this paper.

Résumé

Jointoiement est une des méthodes les plus populaires utilisés pour contrôler les fuites d'eau dans les constructions de barrages. Les propriétés géologiques géologiques et d'ingénierie de la roche / sol à cimentés sont des paramètres importants qui influent sur la conception de l'injection. Dans cette étude, les propriétés géotechniques de la roche de fondation Deriner Dam et la procédure coulis utilisé pour cela ont été étudiés pour déterminer son aptitude pour le jointoiement. Des enquêtes approfondies ont été menées pour éclaircir les causes et les types d'applications utilisées coulis fondation sur le rocher principal barrage Deriner. Les matériaux utilisés pour les joints et les pressions d'injection utilisés ont été étudiés sur place, et les résultats obtenus sont présentés dans le présent document
