Design Standards Embankment Dams No. 13, Chapter 10: Embankment Construction

摘要

The purpose of this chapter is to present concepts that designers should considerin relation to construction of an embankment dam. The design standard covers construction concepts that are important considerations from the viewpoint of embankment designers to ensure that design assumptions, field conditions, and construction practices are compatible. Concepts presented in the design standard should be adhered to by designers of embankment dams within the Bureau of Reclamation. Rationale for deviation from the standard should be presented in technical documentation for the dam and should be approved by appropriate line supervisors and managers.
