Description
Summary:In the article the author discusses measures for increasing an earth dam's freezing rate by natural cold through the dry-slope side both during pouring the fill and during operation of the frozen dam. Among these measures, he includes: removal of snow from the dam surface; covering the surface of the dry slope with insulation during summer; installation of a permanent screen over the dam; and freezing of ice reserves on the dry slope's surface, with tunnels which are ventilated in winter.
