“…Kirov (1989) observed the influence of wastewater on deformation behavior of clayey soil, He found that soils interacting with a solution of detergents undergo a large amount of deformation. Srivastava et al (1992) observed increase in consistency limit, permeability and coefficient of compression and decrease in shear strength and bearing capacity of a soil specimen permeated with fertilizer plant effluent [29,30].This is due to decrease in cation content and increase in hardness of leaching water after interaction Decrease of liquid limit and plasticity index of montmorillonite soil due to addition of pharmaceutical effluent to the soil has been found due to decrease of dielectric constant by contamination. Yaji et al (1996) have investigated the influence of sugar mill liquid wastes on the behavior of shedi soil.…”

Comprehend and forecasting the engineering characteristics of fine-grained soils is crucial for the practice of geotechnical engineering. Fine-grained soil contamination occurs on a daily basis as a result of industrial development and pipeline or reservoir leaks. Due to the influence of the surrounding condition, substantial damage occurs in the foundations of buildings. The presence of industrial wastewater in the soil contributes to a change in its physical, chemical and mechanical properties, and then negatively affects the foundations of various facilities. In addition to environmental issues such as groundwater contamination, the changing of the geotechnical qualities of polluted soil is a concern. As a result of the concentrations of pollutants resulting from the industrial businesses such as dairy products industry, spinning and weaving factories, paper factories and leather wastewater are extremely high in developing countries. Disposal of untreated industrial waste water is a common problem in these countries. This paper describes an experimental investigation that was conducted to explore the effect of four types of industrial wastewater; dairy (DW), textile (TW), leather (LW) and paper (PW) on the deformational behavior of fine-grained soil. Fine-grained soil was exposed to DW, TW, LW and PW for 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 months. Four remolded soil groups of samples are generated for this investigation and combined with the four types of industrial wastewater of constant moisture content (70%). The Atterberg limits, plasticity index, specific gravity, free swelling, optimal moisture content (OMC), and maximum dry density (γdmax) of each mixture were calculated after 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 months of mixing soil with industrial waste water. Comparisons were made between the results of four groups of samples.

“…Although investigations into dams have grown in the last decade, most studies have focused on investigating the body of the dam to identify leakage zones in compacted soil and mining tailings structures or detect cracks in the face of concrete, for example, (Maalouf et al, 2022;Oliveira et al, 2023;Srivastava et al, 2023). Many of these studies seek to identify zones of water percolation, which can alter the physical stability of the dam and lead to a failure of the structure (Sentenac et al, 2017;Camarero et al, 2019;Guireli Netto et al, 2020b;Arcila et al, 2021).…”

Failure events in dams can be associated with processes in the dam body and in the foundation of the structure. If they are properly identified in early stages, corrective actions can take place, leading to a reduction in the risk of collapse and/or rupture of the dam. Most studies on dams are carried out on the body of the dam; however, problems associated with the foundation of the structure can also lead to loss of stability and subsequent ruptures. This study presents an analysis of the advantages and limitations of the use of seismic refraction in hydrogeological studies of fractured aquifers under pressure from large loads, specifically a dam in this case. Seismic refraction data were collected on an outcrop of fractured rock near a uranium storage dam foundation in southeastern Brazil. The results and interpretations were supported by a structural analysis performed through manual strike measurements collected with a Clark compass and an uncrewed aerial vehicle digital photogrammetry survey in an outcrop. The digital photogrammetric survey mapped the spatial distribution and orientation of the geological structures of the rock mass. Although the structural measurements performed through digital photogrammetry presented greater variability than the measurements collected from the compass, the maximum density of the fracture measurements obtained from both methods were similar and were corroborated by the regional and local fracture patterning. The integration of seismic refraction data with geotechnical and geological investigations allowed us to identify the positioning of structural lineaments in the rock mass and zones with a higher degree of rock alteration. The identification of highly fractured zones in the rock mass from such non-invasive investigations could be used to assist in decision making for structural reinforcements in the foundation of the dam to avoid the loss of stability at the foot of the dam from possible leaks or water flows from the reservoir.

Bu çalışmada, homojen toprak dolgu tipinde tasarlanan Hamzadere Barajı’nın jeolojik özellikleri incelenmiştir. Baraj gövdesini oluşturacak dolgu malzemesinin geoteknik açıdan uygunluğu çeşitli deneylerle araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda malzeme alanı olarak iki yer belirlenmiştir ve zeminlerin özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla testler yapılmıştır. Toprak dolgu barajlar, önemli mühendislik projeleri olup büyük yatırım gerektiren yapılardır. Bu tür projelerde, ön incelemelerin yapılması, hem ekonomik verimlilik hem de yapı güvenliği açısından kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Yanlış baraj yeri seçimi ve inşaat aşamasında uygun şekilde tasarlanmayan kil çekirdekleri, birçok mühendislik sorununa yol açabilir. Bu tür problemler, inşaat sürecinde veya barajın ömrü boyunca etkili olabilecek ciddi riskler oluşturabilmektedir. Bu yüzden yapılan bu çalışmayla, dolgu baraj inşasında zemin etütlerinin önemi gösterilmek istenmiştir. Bu çalışmayla Hamzadere Barajının mühendislik jeolojisine değinilmekte, dolgu sahalarından alınan malzemeler üzerinde yapılan deneysel çalışmalar anlatılmakta ve sonuçlan belirtilmektedir.
