Pripremne radnje za izradu brane na potoku Polojac

Abstract: This master’s thesis describes preparatory work and preliminary design for the Polojac dam. The dam will be constructed for the purposes of flood protection and irrigation of agricultural land; it will create a reservoir area of 0.57 km2. On the basis of field investigations, a favorable partition space for the dam is proposed. Site investigation, laboratory, and geophysical studies are the basis for determining the soil-profile and values of characteristic soil parameters. According to Eurocode 7, calculations of seepage, stability and subsidence were carried out for several project situations (e.g., earthquake, rapid draw down). Based on the calculations performed, it can be concluded that the dam meets all the stability requirements of Eurocode 7.
