Roller Compacted Concrete Iii

Includes papers presented at the ASCE Specialty Conference held in San Diego, California on February 2-5, 1992. Included in this volume are experiences of roller compacted concrete dam construction in the US and eight other countries.

Roller compacted concrete (RCC) represents a major advance in dam-building technology. The RCC method speeds construction & reduces the costs of building without compromising safety. This work focuses on the cutting edge of RCC design technology, describing the costs & benefits of a variety of technical approaches, & offering an extensive survey of completed RCC dams & the participants involved in building them.

A book of broad interest to professionals, dam engineers and managers, and to organizations responsible for dam development and management, RCC Dams offers a topical account of the design and operation of roller compacted concrete dams, describing the latest developments and innovative technologies in the field. The book considers planning and design, materials and construction, as well as the operation and performance of RCC dams.

Introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and construction managers interested in roller compacted concrete pavement for streets and highways. Here is what is discussed: 1. INTRODUCTION 2. MATERIALS USED FOR RCC PAVEMENTS 3. DESIGN APPROACHES FOR RCC PAVEMENTS 4. CONSTRUCTION OF RCC PAVEMENTS 5. RCC PAVERS 6. OTHER IMPORTANT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS 7.
