Substantiation of the selection of the designs of a hydraulic-fill dam for the upper reservoirs of pumped-storage stations

Conclusion On the basis of the foregoing conditions about the design of hydraulic-fill dams and technology of their construction and also with consideration of the results of comparative calculations of the permeability of these dams, for the upper reservoirs of pumped-storage stations we can recommend dams which have reliable impervious elements, namely, a diaphragm, facing, or placed clay core.Translated from Gidrotekhnicheskoe Stroitel'stvo, No. 5, pp. 31–35, May, 1985.
