摘要

Building a concrete arch dam in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, deep in the Ansel Adams Wilderness Area, raised many challenges, while taxing the construction capabilities present in the early 1900s. By far a greater challenge has been keeping that dam performing safely and effectively for almost one hundred years. Freeze-thaw cycles, changing regulatory requirements, escalated extreme load conditions (seismic and flood), location logistics, and Wilderness Area restrictions have either caused the degradation of the dam or impacted the maintenance efforts necessary to respond to deterioration. Rush Meadows Dam, located in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains west of June Lake, California, entered service in 1925. Decades of severe environmental exposure have resulted in concrete damage and corrosion of post-tensioned anchors. To address these two conditions, Southern California Edison (SCE) undertook a program to replace the post-tensioned anchors and to install a geomembrane liner over the upstream face. The geomembrane liner will prevent water migration through the concrete, thus interrupting freeze/thaw cycles and stopping the concrete damage caused by freeze/thaw. The replacement anchors will insure that dam stability is maintained, even under seismic and flood loads that are larger than the existing deteriorated anchors were designed to resist.rnThe logistics and permitting associated with construction efforts in a federal wilderness area are significant. Mobilization of work crews, equipment, and material required the use of pack animals, except when equipment was too heavy and a restricted number of helicopter lifts could be arranged with the United States Forest Service. A temporary camp was established at the dam to support the workers, including meal preparation, sanitation facilities, and tents. Permits were required from numerous state and federal agencies, including Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Board, Department of Fish and Game, and State Historical Preservation Office.
