TERM pantalla de impermeabilización de los aluviones
(1) TERM grouted alluvium cut off
Reference Technical Dictionary on Dams,UNESCO,1969
Note {DOM} earth dam
http://europa.eu.int/eurodicautom/Controller
From the Penguin Building Dictionary:
Cut-off wall, core wall: A watertight wall of clay puddle or concrete which is built up from the cut-off trench. (Cut-off trench: In dams, a trench excavation well below the foundation to an impervious layer and then filled with clay or concrete to make a watertight barrier.)
The foundation conditions raised a number of issues for the design of the dam, including seepage; construction stability; settlement; seismic stability; and liquefaction. These were addressed by a range of design provisions that included: wick drains,*** cement-bentonite slurry cut-off wall***, wide berms on the upstream and downstream shoulders, highly plastic core, staged construction, and instrumented monitoring of foundation performance.
