Engineering and geological conditions of dam construction

Abstract

The article presents studies of the engineering-geological conditions of dam construction, consisting of the structure of river valleys and slopes, conditions of rock occurrence, geotechnical and filtration properties of rocks, and geological conditions of the dam construction site. A classification of valley types with schemes, classification of rocks about the location of dams, and types of tectonic structure of valleys about the construction of dams are presented. Conclusions are drawn about the most favorable and unfavorable conditions for the construction of dams.
