Estudio y caracterización de los métodos que definen la cota de corona en presas de tierra: aplicación en el diseño definitivo del proyecto Pacalori

Abstract

This research aims to establish a methodology best suited to estimate the Crest Level in earth dams, with application to earth dams project PLAN DE APROVECHAMIENTO Y CONTROL DE AGUA DE LA PROVINCIA DE LOS RÍOS (PACALORI). For which preliminary parameters defining the crest level was investigated, with the waves, its causes and the most importantinfluential factors in determining the crest level, establishing wind as the generating cause of wave heights, so could understand and describe c / u of methodologies obtained in the investigation. Finally analyzed through comparisons between criteria, influencing parameters, achieving secure the best choice of the criterion set out arguments,which is the criterion of the Experiencia Cubana.
