Abstract

Asphalt has long been used in the construction of dams: to grout foundations when running groundwater erodes a Portland cement particulate grout; as a coating of conduits penetrating the dam, to improve cut-off; as a protective coating on exposed dam foundations that are subject to air or water slaking; and as the water barrier element of an embankment dam. This paper will be devoted to the latter function, referring to Asphalt Concrete Cores and Asphalt Concrete Facings for embankment dams.
