Abstract
The grouted foundation at the Notre-Dame de Commiers earthfill dam on the River Drac in southeast France is examined herein. The dam has a thin sloping core and is 40 m (131.23 ft) high for a total crest length of 300 m (984.26 ft). The fill volume is approximately 3,500,000 cu m (123,642,480 cu ft). The banks are composed of a mediocre-strength Lias shale and the riverbed is choked by a 50-m thick, highly pervious alluvium deposit with an approximate area of 7,000 sq m across the valley. A cross section of the dam is shown in Fig. 1.
