Conclusions 1. Comprehensive engineering-geologic investigations during surveys and designing of earth dams do not always permit obtaining sufficiently complete and objective data on the geological structure of the foundation and design characteristics of soil with consideration of their change with time. 2. Timely consideration of the specific characteristics of the foundation of each planned earth dam and refinement of the properties of the foundation soil in an undisturbed mass are the main condition of reliability of the forecasts of consolidation and stability of the dam slopes. 3. Refinement of the engineering-geologic conditions of the foundation and properties of clay foundation soil of earth dams being constructed under complex engineering-geologic conditions should be carried out during investigations at the design stage of test embankments and also on fragments of the real structure in the initial period of its construction. These investigation promote an increase of reliability and economy of earth dams.
