| "The first full-scale introduction of a modern CFRD undertaken in Japan as a permanent structure is the saddle dam at the Tomata Dam operated by the Chugoku Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Government of Japan. The construction of the dam was accompanied by detailed studies on the design and execution of modern CFRDs.To examine safety of the Tomata Saddle Dam, seepage/leakage and deformation have been measured with gauges and sensors.This report presents the safety evaluation of the Tomata Saddle Dam based on the measured results of seepage/ leakage through the body and its rock foundation, settlement of the dam body and deflection of a toe slab, that were carried out during the first filling of the Tomata Dam reservoir." |
