Improvements in dams for reservoirs with additional protection of passage against filtration (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

摘要

Improvements in dams for reservoirs with additional passage protection against leaks in rivers or similar, characterized because on the downstream side from the joint or waterproofing (1) is available across the width of the cross section of the basin at least up to the height of the reservoir, a braking zone (4) in an inclined or vertical position, which has a lower permeability than the masses (2) of the dam included between them and the waterproofed part (1) and that together with its backfill (3,7 and 8) on the downstream side constitutes a sufficient support body with respect to the water pressure that directly attacks the height envisaged in the reservoir.
