Abstract
Of the approximately forty papers submitted for sessions 3A and 3B on Case Histories in Dams, Embankments and Slopes, eighteen specifically discuss dams, foundations for dams or tailings dams. Table 1 presents a capsule summary of those papers that discuss dams and their foundations. Table 2 is a similar capsule summary of the five papers that discuss performance, design and/or construction of tailings dams or spoil piles. This general report summarizes and comments on the papers listed in Tables 1 and 2, presents several abbreviated case histories that parallel those presented in the papers, comments on several points not covered in the various papers, and ends with a few concluding remarks.

General Report for the Theme Three – Case Histories in Dams, Embankments and Slopes
Of the approximately forty papers submitted for sessions 3A and 3B on Case Histories in Dams, Embankments and Slopes, eighteen specifically discuss dams, foundations for dams or tailings dams. Table 1 presents a capsule summary of those papers that discuss dams and their foundations. Table 2 is a similar capsule summary of the five papers that discuss performance, design and/or construction of tailings dams or spoil piles. This general report summarizes and comments on the papers listed in Tables 1 and 2, presents several abbreviated case histories that parallel those presented in the papers, comments on several points not covered in the various papers, and ends with a few concluding remarks.
