Stone beds for gravity-type hydrotechnical structures

Abstract

This work is devoted to the analysis of modern technologies and mechanical equipment used in the construction of marine hydraulic structures of the gravity type, in particular stone beds. It examines the existing methods of erecting and compacting beds, their role in the uniform distribution of the load and protection of the foundations. Particular attention is paid to modern technologies of mechanized compac-tion, such as vibrocompaction and the use of underwater explosions, which contribute to the reduction of construction time and reduction of its cost. The analysis contains theoretical and practical aspects of the organization of construction processes in difficult engineering conditions
