Outline
of the
project
Takase
dam forms the
upper reservoir of Shintakasegawa
pumped-storage power
plant
with
maximum output capacity
1,280
MW,
and
is the largest rockfill dam in
Japan,
not only
in height
but
also in volume.
(see
Figure 1)
Geology
of the dam
site
The basin
of the Takase River consists of
granite,
diorite and
porphyrite,
which
are considered
to be of the Jurassic
Period
of the
Mesozoic era. There is a conspicuous fracture
zone near the dam site which
is thought to be influenced by
the
tectonic line
(Fossa
Magna) running from north to sourth,
17km downstream of the
site.
The
bedrock of the dam mainly consists of
granite
and
partly
diorite. The river bed is covered
by
alluvial deposits.
The
granite
at the site is
generally
sound to support the 176m
high rockfill dam. The
layer of alluvial deposits 30 to
40m
thick
is composed
of sand and
gravel
containing boulde$ of
a fairly large srze.
3. Embankment
of the
dam
The
embankment materials are taken from the reservoir
area
as much
as
possible
to
preserye
the natuml environment.
The
dam was constructed in conformity with the embankment
specification shown in
Table 1, using 9 wheel loaders
(7mr
class),
37 dump trucks
(32t
class) and 6 vibrating
rouers
(13t
class). Effective operation of this heavy equipment
was
accomplished
by computer simulation, and average
amount of embankment
per
month
(nearly
600,000mi)
was achieved
during
the
peak
work
period.
To
control the embankment construction consistent
with design requirements, control tests with regard to
gradation,
water
content,
density and
permeability
were done at the borow
pits
and the dam site. The
grading
curve
of embank-
ment
materials and the conftol results of core material
are shown in Figure 2 and
Figure
3 respectively.
4.
FoundationTreatment
As
for the treatment of the
rock foundation, curtain
grouting was
performed
beneath the center of the core. Blanket
grouting
was
also
performed prior
to the embankment
of the
core for the full
width
of the core and to a depth of
10m.
The amount
of cement
iniection was about 70kgm.
