ABSTRACT
The hydroelectric project La Yesca is currently under construction in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The concrete face
rockfill dam (CFRD) will be 205 m in height, one of the highest in its type. This article describes the general
characteristics of the project and some of the field and lab works, as well as the studies and analysis performed to carry
out the geotechnical design of the structure.
RESUMEN
El proyecto hidroelctrico La Yesca est actualmente en construccin en el estado de Jalisco, Mxico. La cortina de
enrocamiento con cara de concreto (CFRD) tendr una altura de 205 m y ser una de las ms altas en su tipo. Este
artculo describe las caractersticas generales del proyecto y algunos de los trabajos de campo y laboratorio, as como
estudios y anlisis realizados para el diseo geotcnico de la estructura.

Where:
Ell, Deformation modulus of material 3B considered
during filling, in MPa
H, Height of the dam, in m.
Maximum displacement of the concrete face, in m.
And considering a relation Ell/Ec = 2 (value usually
found in practice) we have:

The acting forces in the dam are the body forces, defined
by the volumetric weight of the materials and their
distribution.
The maximum vertical settlement in the center of the
curtain was 0.93 m. The horizontal displacement, in the
3B and 3C material zones was 0.48 m. The total
horizontal displacement in the center of the curtain was
0.94 m.
