protected by concrete slab or stone revetment. Geomem⁃
branes on the reservoir bed and bottom of the pool shall be
covered by sand gravel or gravel, with a thickness of no
less than 30⁃40cm. In cold regions, geomembranes shall
be covered over quickly to prevent freezing damage. In the
areas above the dead water level of dam slope and reser⁃
voir, permanent frost prevention cover measures shall be
adopted. In regions with a fluctuating water level, the
depth of the protection layer shall be thicker, and equal
to the depth of frozen ground. The covering material shall
be selected from coarse aggregate, such as crushed
gravel, cobble gravel, etc. On the steeper slopes of the
dam and reservoir, the protective layer should not be
made of clay.
4 The peripheral connection of geomembranes shall meet the
following requirements:
1) Geomembranes shall be laid on the surrounding impervious
layers.
2) For the connection between geomembranes and the cutoff
wall below: If the design requires the geomembranes to be
connected to the concrete cutoff wall below,
geomembranes shall be embedded directly, and the em⁃
bedded depth shall be no less than 10 - 30cm. The
geomembranes shall be folded like the shape “ ”. In the
embedded places, concrete construction can be done as
the second stage concrete. When geomembranes are con⁃
nected directly with the rock foundation of the dam, the
upper weathered layer shall be cleaned up, and geomem⁃
branes shall go deep into the integrated impervious rock
foundation of 30 - 50cm, and then be embeded by
