| Summary: | The article presents considerations on the principles of soil selection for transition layers in earth dams, both
of which also act as reverse filters. It focuses on the identification of phenomena related to filtration, in particular
internal erosion of earth structures and effective methods of its prevention. The analysis of the most
common principles and criteria of soil selection for the transition layers was made. The selection of soils for
the transition layers of the Świnna Poręba Dam was verified. |
