摘要

Chilhowee Dam is an 85 foot high, 1,500 foot long hydropower development located near Knoxville, Tennessee. A 6 foot deep sinkhole was observed on the upstream slope of one of the two rockfill embankment sections in February 2000. Geotechnical subsurface investigations confirmed that the embankment material near the sinkhole was of questionable condition, but were unable to determine the cause of the sinkhole. It was decided that the affected area would be excavated and rebuilt to address the safety concern of the growing sinkhole.rnConstruction began with excavation of the embankment area to determine the cause, and ensure the removal, of the observed sinkhole. Several deficiencies were noted during the excavation, and the plan for the rebuild was modified to remedy these problems.rnStrict quality control was maintained during embankment material placement to ensure that filter compatibility was maintained over all new and existing embankment materials. Material quality, handling, placement and compaction was regulated to ensure that the rebuilt section would function properly and not be prone to similar sinkhole mechanisms.rnThe paper focuses on issues inherent with excavating and rebuilding a portion of an embankment dam with sloping impervious clay core bounded by a series of filters, while maintaining dam safety. The rebuild presented challenges, due to the relative uncertainty of what the initial excavation would reveal and the complexity of the dam's geometry. Through removing the affected portion, remediating improper rock foundation treatment and rebuilding the embankment, the embankment section that contained the sinkhole was properly replaced.
