Professional Practice in Earth Sciences,2364-00813-319-64035-6 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- Water Flow in Rock: Geometry of Water Conducting Paths and Lugeon-values -- Examples of Grouting Programs -- Permeability Testing by Means of Water Pressure Tests -- Hydrofracturing of Latent Discontinuities in Rock and Implications for Successful and Economical Execution of Grouting -- Groutability and Grouting of Rock -- Hydrogeological Regime Around Dams and Reservoirs -- Doubts in GIN Principle Confirmed.This book focuses on the permeability of the foundation of dams, how to determine their state and how to tighten permeable rock to achieve safe foundations for large dams. It includes theoretical fundamentals as well as lessons learned in their application in practical construction work in eminent projects. It also discusses aspects such as the permeability of the rock mass at the dam site, including the hydraulic characteristics of water conducting openings and their effect on the reliability of water pressure test (WPT) results; the influence of particular geological factors on the hydrogeological regime at the site, as well as the hydrofracturing behavior and individual groutability; and the relationship between quantities of grout takes and the degree of impermeabilization.Professional Practice in Earth Sciences,2364-0081Geotechnical engineeringGeologyEngineering geologyBuildingsDesign and constructionGeotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth SciencesGeologyGeoengineeringBuilding Construction and DesignGeotechnical engineering.Geology.Engineering geology.BuildingsDesign and construction.Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences.Geology.Geoengineering.Building Construction and Design.627.81Ewert Friedrich-Karlauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059840Hungsberg Ulrichauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299400803321Rock Grouting at Dam Sites2508591UNINA
