RESUMEN: En Ingeniería de Presas, la distribución de materiales en una cortina de enrocamiento con cara de concreto sigue convenciones casi de aceptación mundial en cuanto a su granulometría e identificación. El material 2 constituye un apoyo uniforme de la cara de concreto y protege contra efectos de filtración; a su vez, el material 3A protege al material 2. Para el proyecto analizado se tenían las especificaciones dadas por el propietario para la granulometría y para la permeabilidad; sin embargo, conforme se iniciaron las pruebas de verificación de la permeabilidad en el campo, éstas indicaron el cumplimiento para el material 2 y no así para el material 3A. Se realizó el análisis de la información para determinar cuál era el impacto y en dado caso cuál sería el criterio de aceptación para la colocación de los materiales.
