The objective was to study the dispersive characteristics of the intended core material in the Earth Core Rock Fill dam ECRD of Merowe Dam. Intensive testing was carried out on the core material to study its dispersive characteristics and suggest treatment methods including advanced mineralogical and chemical tests. Lime and gypsum were used for treatment of the material. The outcome of this investigation was the basis for the design and improvement of the core material for the ECRD.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
