[en] Abstract Background The blast-and earth-fill dam of the Kambarata 2 hydropower station is
situated in the seismically active Central Tien Shan region of the Kyrgyz Republic. More than
70% of the dam volume was produced during a blast event on December 22, 2009. In 2010–
2011, dam construction was completed after earth filling on top of the blasted material and
installing concrete and clay screens together with bentonite grouts. A geophysical survey
had been completed in 2012–2013, mainly to monitor the resistivities inside the dam. ...
