CASE STUDY No. 2 Quebradona
Scheme
General Data
 Location Antioquia, Colombia.
 Construction Period 1956 - 1958.
 Purpose River regulation and hydroelectric power generation.
Technical Aspects
 Type of structure 34 m high earth dam with a fill volume of 331.000 m3. Embankment materials:
decomposed rock to non-plastic sand soil with water content between 15 and
28% and natural unit weight of 1.7 g/cm3. Silts with an average PI of 6%,
natural water contents between 27 to 35% and average natural unit weight of
1.53 g/cm3. Embankment material average properties: LL=35%, PI=4%, 30%
passing #200 sieve, wnat=26%, wopt=23%.
 Geology "Antioqueño Batholith": Lower Cretaceous intrusion with an approximate
extension of 8000 km2. The predominant rock varies from granodiorite to
quartz diorite, fine to coarse grained, constituted by plagioclase, quartz biolite
and hornblende.
 Foundation materials Low permeability residual soils. Average thickness: 10 – 20 m of low
compressibility silty sands (ML). Brownish red color, low to medium plasticity
(wL= 40 - 50%, PI= 7 - 12%), medium to high compressibility, high water
content (25 - 40%), low unit weight (1.5 - 1.6 g/cm3) and internal friction angle
30° in natural state.
 Foundation treatment Horizontal filter at downstream foundation contact.
 Instrumentation Installation of piezometers and settlement measuring devices.
 Construction issues Designs were based on Piedras Blancas Dam experience (Case Study No.
1). More gentle slopes were designed to avoid failures during construction
stages due to excessive pore pressures. However due to the type of material
used, the pore pressures generated during construction dissipated faster than
predicted causing a rapid consolidation process. It is estimated that about 5%
of the total settlement occurred during construction.
 Operational issues The performance of the dam has been satisfactory.
