AB  - Dam construction during a technogenic deposit formation in harsh climatic conditions is complicated
by cooling and subsequent freezing of tails deposited in dams. Due to this reason, frost cracks may form in the
crest and in the dam deposition beach. These cracks are hazardous by a number of reasons. By splitting the
dam body into separate segments they decrease its reliability and slope stability. Cracks decrease the water
filtration path from a settling pond, thus, increasing head gradients and facilitating tail carry-over from the dam
body. Cracks unfavorably affect operating conditions of pressure piping and may cause their failure. The study
contains the field survey results that will provide insight into the crack opening width and depth.
