Abstract
Foundation conditions at Guntersville Dam presented interesting engineering and construction problems, the solutions of which are thought to be unique. Since techniques for foundation treatment were developed progressively to suit the varying conditions encountered, the different parts of the foundations are described in the order in which they were uncovered. Ordinary procedures, conditions, and methods are described only briefly to permit a more complete description of extraordinary conditions and ground-water behavior after the filling of the reservoir.
