Abstract

746,630. Subaqueous walls. GRIFFIN ENGINEERING CO. (PROPRIETARY), Ltd. March 2, 1954 [March 11, 1953], No. 6074/54. Class 68(2) An earth or rubble dam is provided with a shield 1, Fig. 2, of reinforced concrete, or a reinforced soil-cement mixture, embedded therein parallel to the length of the dam, the shield being in sections which are articulated together to allow free movement relatively to each other. As shown, the shield is built into the upper portion 1a of the dam and is provided on both sides with ribs 2 connected by haunches 3, Fig. 1, to the shield 1 the ribs being staggered on opposite sides. The ribs 2 may slope inwardly towards the base which is mounted on a footing 10 so that rotational and tilting movement may take place. The sections forming the shield are connected together at spaced vertical positions by reinforced concrete keying blocks 9 loosely inserted in recesses 8 in the ends of the sections, the positions between the blocks being connected by a loose tongue 7 and groove 6, the sections being bevelled at 7a to allow for slight rotation of the joint. If a control gallery is provided the shield may rest directly on the gallery instead of on the footing 10. In a modification the walls of the shield and ribs are corrugated to allow optimum contact between the walls and the earth and rubble of the dam. In a further form the shield is inclined with its upper surface nearer the open side of the dam.
