Abstract:
Upper Stillwater Dam in Utah was constructed of roller compacted concrete. To facilitate construction, the dam design did not include contraction joints. Foundation deformation and concrete cooling enhanced the formation of cracks in the dam. One crack was leaking 1300 gal/min of water. The repair of the cracks is described in this article.
