Site selection for a concrete gravity dam is very important. In many cases ideal foundation conditions are not available, appropriate foundation treatment becomes necessary. The site of Sardar Sarovar Dam was a challenging one from the foundation design point of view. How the results of geological investigations were interpreted and how the treatment of faults was carried out has been an interesting topic for foundation engineers since long back and hasalso provided opportunities for technological advancement to keep pace with time.
