CHAPTER 10- DAM FOUNDATIONS

1. First king of the first Egyptian dynasty who built the first recorded masonry dam. MENES
2. Constructed of rubble masonry and faced with cut stone. PUENTES DAM
3. Determined mainly from anticipated catchment area runoff influenced considerably by
geological conditions. SPILLWAY CAPACITY
4. Great gravity dam and will be within the memory of some engineers. ST. FRANCIS DAM
5. The first relevant legislation in Great Britain passed after a number of dam failures.
RESERVOIRS ACT OF 1930
6. Where dam inspection should always start. FOUNDATION GEOLOGY
7. An economical way of initially assessing dams. AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHIC
INTERPRETATION
8. An artificial structure erected to support a waterproof barrier designed to retain water above
the level that it normally occupies at the site of the dam. DAM
9. Generally an integral part of the dam structure. BARRIER
10. Dams which depend for their stability on the structural performance of the material used
for construction. CONCRETE OR MASONRY DAMS
11. Are generally restricted by topographical, economic, and social considerations. DAM
LOCATIONS
12. In Washington D.C, it has been found weathered to saprolitic soil. GRANITE
13. It was buried deep below the swift flowing water of the river, heavy boulder sand river
sediment. GORGE FLOOR
14. It was made of all rock surfaces as they were stripped and through inspection made before
concreting started. CLOSE INSPECTION
15. Widely used for the main dam of Le Sautet water power development in south of France.
EXPLORATORY TUNNEL
16. It is the most critical part of the investigation of work. FINAL INSPECTION
17. _______ have their own and had similar problems to their foundation. SMALL DAMS
18. Who desire to answer to two questions well before construction operations are initiated.
CIVIL ENGINEERS
19. It is found in the south of France on Le Drac. LE SAUTET DAM
20. It was abandoned to build a foundation of the dam. CHOSEN SITE
21. It is the second essential requirement of dam foundations in rock aside from being strong
enough to carry the designed loads for the dam. WATERTIGHT BARRIER
22. A standard procedure in studies of dam foundations, such tests can be a reasonable reliable
indication of water tightness. WATER-PRESSURE TEST
23. Low-pressure grouting to cover the entire area of the foundation. SHALLOW
24. High-pressure grouting to form an impermeable curtain under the heel of the structure.
DEEP
25. The usual problem encountered with dams in service. UNACCEPTABLE LEAKAGE
26. It was designed to consolidate the entire base area of the dam. COMPREHENSIVE
GROUTING PROGRAM
27. They are placed over sands and gravels, they depend for stability on a predetermined safe
rate underflow. FLOATING DAMS
28. Once buried beneath the dam, they can never again be obtained. ESSENTIAL DETAILS
29. _________ is to secure a good bond between concrete and rock. ESSENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION OBJECTIVE
30. It is an essential part of the duties of the geological adviser. DETAILED INSPECTION
31. It is the act of diverting a portion of river water from the main course to another natural or
man- made channel. RIVER DIVERSION
32. It refers both to the increased concentration of suspended sediments, and to the increased
accumulation (temporary or permanent) of fine sediments on bottoms where they are
undesirable. RESERVOIR SILTATION
33. It is most often caused by soil erosion or sediment spill. SILTATION
34. An abandoned 30m high earth-fill dam completed in 1934-1946. LONE PINE
RESERVOIR IN ARIZONA
35. It is one that does not allow water to infiltrate to the soil layer. IMPERVIOUS LAYER
36. Are now used to detect groundwater flow. RADIOISOTOPES
37. Reservoir leakage is generally visually obvious and often substantiated by __________.
WATER BALANCE COMPUTATION
38. It is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of water or underground streams. DAM
39. Who can provide the basis for soil- loss estimation through their mapping of engineering
soil and weak rock units of the watershed? ENGINEERING GEOLOGIST
40. A natural development as a reservoir level raised or lowered. LANDSLIDES
