Introduction to Rock-Filled Concrete Technology -- Filling process and Compactness of Rock-Filled Concrete -- Mechanical and Physical Properties -- Design of Rock-Filled Concrete Gravity Dam -- Design of Rock-Filled Concrete Arch Dam -- Construction -- Quality Control, Construction Information System and Monitoring -- Rock-filled Concrete Dam Projects -- Other Related Technology -- Summary and Rock-filled Concrete Technology in the Future.
This book provides a timely review on recent advancements in rock-filled concrete dam: a new type of dam originated from Tsinghua University in China. It covers historical overview of the development, filling process of high performance self-compacting concrete, mechanical and physical properties of rock-filled concrete, design of rock-filled concrete gravity dams and arch dams, as well as construction and quality control specifications. The book is intended for researchers, practicing engineers and graduate students who are interested in fundamental research and engineering design principles of rock-filled concrete dams. Successful insights gained from more than 120 rock-filled concrete dams completed or under construction in China are presented in this book, which can be useful references for all readers.
