PENGALIRAN PADA INTI BENDUNGAN TIPE URUGAN PADA PENGGENANGAN PERTAMA WADUK
Abstract
The first impoundment on the fill dams can be considered as a critical phase during the lifetime of the dam. The
change to the embankment materials, especially on clay core shall be carefully examined. Some dams were ruptured
during their first impounding due to the flow through the core. The flow through the core of the dam during the first
impounding was considered in the condition of unsaturated.This paper intended to study the literature available
regarding the flow through the core of the dam. The factors affecting the flow through the core such as pore pressure
parameters, empirical equations governing the flows on the core and volume change will be discussed.
