3 CONTEXT

4 HISTORY : Building LE BARRAGE FAIT EAU NEUVE

5 THE CRACKS 1963: The SC takes possession of the bimont Dam Only 3 years after Malpasset disaster Numerous cracks observed on the second plot and on the right bank of the dam Cote 329,50 m NGF LE BARRAGE FAIT EAU NEUVE

6 Cote 329,50 m NGF

7 THE CRACKS The geology was first suspected. Numerous fields of investigations: Complementary geological studies Gallery cutted into the rock foundation of the second cantilever Additionnal monitoring instruments: 2 plumblines, fissurometers, Topographic survey Mapping of the cracks network Several numerical models A geological cause of the damages was rejected LE BARRAGE FAIT EAU NEUVE

30 Cracks grouting: why? Avoid application of pore pressure on internal cracks surface allow the arch stresses to be transmitted in the dam body «half «dam US Hydrostatic pressure Internal cracks

31 REHABILITATION ROJECT Cracks grouting Identified risks otential extension of cracks under grouting pressure ossibility to eject the concrete part between the internal crack and dam faces due to grouting pressure
