Abstract:
Key features of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) dams are highlighted, using various dam types as examples. Topics include lift interfaces, facing systems, spillways, intakes and outlets, internal galleries, and joints. Test sections are recommended for training and to demonstrate that the systems, methods, and equipment proposed for a project will meet project specifications.
