ENGINEERING AND GEOTECHNICAL SURVEYS AT THE SITE OF THE MAIN STRUCTURES OF THE PSKEM HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION ON THE PSKEM RIVER

Abstract

This paper presents the results of geomechanical studies of the siltstone massif carried out in the right-bank experimental adit at the site of the Pskemskaya HPP dam. Primary shear experiments were carried out at the following 6 normal pressures on the stamp σ: 0.5 MPa; 1.0 MPa; 1.5 MPa; 2.0 MPa, 2.5 MPa and 3.0 MPa.
