| Abstract | Roller compacted concrete(RCC) provides the designer with a
new possibilities for concrete dam designs. Different design
sections can be used from job to job and even within any given job.
The various material properties that are possible with RCC make
the task of selecting the best design more complex than with
conventionally placed concrete.
Construction of RCC dams is still at a stage where universally
accepted concepts have not yet been agreed on and they differ from
country to country or even from one location to another.
The study summarizes the design options available within RCC
and gives guide lines to decide on a narrow range of optimum
solutions, considering methods of structural analysis, mix
proportioning, & seepage control. |
