Full TextAbstract
In this study, seepage phenomenon through left abutment of Bidvaz earth-fill dam with 66m height is investigated. The Bidvaz is constructed in order to control the floods for using in agriculture and fish cultivating as well as supplying a portion of drinking water for Isfarayen city, NE of Iran. The dam site consists of two different alluvial and rocky parts. The alluvial part is sealed by a plastic concrete cut-off wall while a grout curtain is constructed in the rocky area. This research deals with applying tracing technique in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the grout curtain. To meet this aim, two different types of dye tracers, Uranine and Rhodamine B are employed. These tracers are injected into injection boreholes and then sampling is done through sampling points. Based on the results, the occurrence of seepage in the left abutment of Bidvaz dam is confirmed. The results show that some parts of the grout curtain are not acting effectively to control seepage.
