Kan. Admin. Regs. § 5-40-45 - Allowance for settlement of an earthen dam
(a) A detailed
soil mechanics investigation report shall be submitted as part of the design
report for each high-impact dam. An appropriate allowance for settlement shall
be made based on the results in the soil mechanics report.
(b) If a detailed soil mechanics
investigation report is not submitted for a low-impact dam, at least five
percent of the height of the dam shall be allowed for settlement of the
embankment.
(c) An allowance for
settlement on each dam may be made by steepening the side slopes during
construction and adding to the height of the embankment as needed to increase
the height of the dam.
