Abstract: In the design of Hasang Hexi settling pond dam, four kinds of dam type were analysed, namely homogeneous earth dam, clay core wall dam, clay inclined wall dam and sand-gravel dam. On this basis, analytic hierarchy process was adopted in analysis on evaluation indexes, such as construction condition, engineering cost, construction period and management. As a result, homogeneous earth dam was selected as the Hasang Hexi settling pond dam type.
