Road Dam B 80, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
Project description:
Investigation of the external and internal safety of an earth dam as a basis of dimensioning an approx. 20 m high and 600 m long earth dam to be founded on unstable, water saturated ground. The planning of the dam had to consider the flooding of a nearby open pit (Salziger See) and subsequent increase of the groundwater level with associated formation of a seepage water flow in the dam body.Reason:
- Deviation of Federal Road B 80
Services:
- Exploration (drilling, penetration tests, pressure tests)
- Soil-static calculations of the external and internal stability
- Investigation on the deformation of the dam and dam footing ground
- Determination of the seepage flow and dimensioning of the dam foot drainage system
Advantages:
- Time saving, as the experts’ office was in the vicinity of the construction site
- Quality assurance by using experienced soil mechanics engineers and accredited soil mechanics engineers
- Synoptic approach by employing a multidisciplinary team and therefore guaranteeing the success of the project
Additional project data:
- Height of dam: 20 m
- Length of dam: 600 m
