Summary: | During the construction and operation of frozen dams, just as for the construction of dams by the thaw method, but for their operation as such, frozen soils may be used for the foundation. However, the foundation soils must not be allowed to thaw. Filtration through the body and foundation of a dam should be completely precluded. Otherwise losses of the filtration resistance and overall strength of the facility will occur. The requirement of ensuring against filtration through the body and foundation of a dam or in the bank (one word illegible) and its abutment with the spillway must also be observed during the construction of dams by the thaw method.
