Investigation of weak leached dolomite with a view of its using in construction of earth dams
Abstract
At present earth dams are, on an ever increasing scale, built of weak and weathered rock. Its utilization as a rule gives a big economic effect. When excavating and compacting such a rock, inequagranular material is formed which, depending on its grain size distribution, can be placed in impervious dam elements or dam shells.
