Abstract	This paper describes the results of the engineering geological investigations and bearing capacity studies carried out at the proposed site of the rock fill Atasu Dam, to be constructed on basalts and pyroclastics. Rock mass strength and modulus of elasticity of the rock mass were determined using the Hoek–Brown empirical strength criterion. Rock mass classifications for the dam rock foundation were undertaken following the RMR, Q and GSI systems and the stress distributions using the finite element technique. To estimate the bearing capacity of the basalts, different empirical equations were used and compared.L’article décrit les résultats des investigations de géologie de l’ingénieur et des études de capacité portante réalisées sur le site du barrage d’Atasu, barrage en enrochements fondé sur des basaltes et des roches pyroclastiques. Les modules d’élasticité et la résistance de la masse rocheuse ont été évalués à partir des critères de Hoek et Brown. L’utilisation des indices RMR, Q et GSI a permis de préciser la classe du massif rocheux, la technique des éléments finis permettant de définir la distribution des contraintes induites dans le terrain. Afin d’évaluer la capacité portante des basaltes, différentes équations empiriques ont été utilisées et comparées.
