The
Shintsuruko dam
is a rockfill
dam with a
center
impervious
zone. The
geology
of the
dam site
consists
of
Miocene Andesite, Pyroclastic Andesite
and Tuff Breccia,
which
are
partially
overlain by Tuff or Lappilli
Tuff.
From
the dynamic
stability analysis
it was recognized
that
the top
of the dam
would fairly shake by seismic
accelem-
tion, compared with other
lower dams. That
is often
observed
in such
dams about 1.00m high. So,
zoning
was designed
to strengthen
the upper
palt
of the dam
by filling with
rock material
as
much as
possible
except
the imPervious
zone.
ThJ rock is transported
ftom a quary located
2km upstream
and is utilized
for rock and transition
zones.
A
part
of
that is
used to manufacture
qushed
rock as the material
of
the
filter zone.
The core zone is filled
with river
deposit avail-
able in the teuace about 0.5km
downstream.
As for the foundation
treatment, curtain
grouting and
blanket
grouting are carried out
for the bedrock
of the
core
zone. The former is designed 45m
deep in maximum
and
the latter
is uniformly
15m deep.
