%0 Journal Article %T Use of quick-setting substances in watertight elements for rock material dams %A Balzannikov M.I. %A Mikhasek A.A. %J Magazine of Civil Engineering %D 2012 %I St-Petersburg State Polytechnical University %X The article deals with the application of rock material dams with watertight element in the form of a screen or core in hydraulic engineering construction.The authors developed a new technology of watertight element creation. The technology consists in quick-setting substance introduction into every deposited dam layer with the help of a special chute.Experimental model research on the form and size determination of the quick-hardening substance lamination area inside the dam was carried out. Further the article considered the comparative calculations of the quick-hardening substance volume required for forming screen or core impervious elements.The possibility of dam construction cost decrease according to the developed technology and the core IE implementation was shown. %K hydraulic engineering %K stone dam %K watertight element %K experimental model investigations %U http://engstroy.spb.ru/index_2012_03/balzannikov.pdf
