摘要：The questions of processing technology of dam channels using appropriate mechanisms are presented taking into account the requirements of modern engineering hydrology. Channel profiling with the best quality and performance can be carried out by means of mechanization at the expense of working tools, able to process not only longitudinal but also cross-sections of channels. According to calculations, there was established, that the best condition for moving soil on the channel slope in front of the passive knife, is an equable distribution along the slope. It was marked, that the strength of the soil pressure is most affected by the installation value of the trowel knife and the thickness of the loosened soil layer to be compacted. Recommendations on increasing the active working body stability of the dam profiler are given.
