Remedial Cutoff Walls for Dams in the U.S.: 40 Years of Case Histories
Publication: Grouting 2017
Abstract
Since 1975, there has been a rich history of embankment dam remediation in the U.S., mostly to prevent seepage and erosion through and under these structures. The history of these works has been described by many authors, the compendium of Bruce (2012) being the most recent, addressing projects completed up to 2010. Since then, a number of extremely large remediations have been completed, including cutoffs at Clearwater, Wolf Creek, Center Hill, Pine Creek, Bolivar Dams, and Herbert Hoover Dike. Together these more recent projects greatly exceed the combined cost of similar works conducted in the prior 35 years. This paper provides an updated compendium of these projects, and provides detailed references for future researchers to develop.
