ABSTRACT |
Plastic concrete diaphragm walls are generally constructed as cut-off walls across dam foundations to minimize seepage losses. These walls are mostly constructed in river alluvium. The loss of plastic concrete into voids can be predicted and controlled. On important projects two such walls are constructed in series for water tightness. Recently a seepage measurement system has been constructed at forty- year old Jatiluhur dam in Indonesia. The work involved construction of plastic concrete cut-off wall in rock-fill. This unique and difficult experience of constructing plastic concrete wall in rock-fill environment has been described in this paper.
