Abstract :

Amand dam is an earth dam with a clayey core. The dam with 42 m height constructed on the Amand river. Dam foundation bedrock of gray shales refer to Sarcheshmeh Formation. This shales in depth affected by tectonic agents and also affected by climate agent on the surface.

This paper deals with physical and mechanical characteristics of the shale from Sarcheshmeh formation. Laboratory and field investigation were carried out. Field data and information from a number of borehole and also laboratory information such as porosity, density, water absorption and uniaxial compression data are used to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of the rock mass which under lay by the dam.
