Roller Compacted Concrete Dams?An Overview
The development of roller compacted concrete for gravity dams is traced from forerunners, through its use at the Shihmen and Tarbela Dam Projects to Willow Creek Dam and the Japanese Roller...
Cedar Falls Roller Compacted Concrete Dam
This paper presents the design, material testing, quality control, and construction considerations applicable to a small Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) dam. The Cedar Falls RCC dam is...
Comparison of Joint Shear Strengths for Conventional and Roller Compacted Concrete
Direct shear test data for parent material and bonded and unbonded jointed specimens of conventional and RCC (roller compacted concrete) are presented and compared. Results are discussed...
Roller Compacted Concrete Mix Design for Pamo Dam
Pamo Dam is designed as a 265 foot (81M) high gravity dam that will be located on the Santa Isabel Creek in San Diego County, California. RCC volume will be approximately 491,000 cubic...
Evaluation of Cores From Two RCC Gravity Dams
Galesville Dam, Oregon, completed in August 1985, and Upper Stillwater Dam, Utah, completed in August 1987, are two RCC (roller compacted concrete) gravity dams featuring different approaches...
Construction of Elk Creek Dam
Construction of Elk Creek Dam, located in Southwest Oregon, is currently underway with completion scheduled for September 1988. The main dam contract was awarded to Ohbayashi Gumi Ltd....
Whither Roller Compacted Concrete for Dam Construction?
During the formative years of the roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam, three different approaches to the design have evolved; the lean RCC dam, the RCD (rolled-concrete dam) method and...
Roller Compacted Concrete Design for Urugua-I Dam
Gravity dam construction by the roller compacted concrete method (RCC) has received widespread interest following completion of Shimajigawa Dam in Japan (1981) and Willow Creek Dam in...
Small Diameter Gravity and Pressure Sewers
In communities with low population density or physical features that make conventional gravity sewers inordinately expensive, alternative sewer technologies can be significantly lower...
Estimation of Uplift Pressure in Cracks in Concrete Gravity Dams
This paper presents an analytical solution to predict uplift pressures in cracks in concrete gravity dams. It is shown that drainage systems are effective in reducing such pressures....
Surgery in the Microgravity Environment
As man becomes more active in space, the possibility of major medical emergencies requiring surgical procedures will increase. Surgery in the microgravity environment involves many challenges...
Solutions to Space Station Designs
Any space station that is to be designed for extended human use may require gravity. The artificial gravity field required can be produced by rotating the structure. As the Soviets have...
Hydraulic Design Limitations for Gravity Flexible (Non-Rigid) Plastic Pipes Flowing with a Free Water Surface
Hydraulic design limitations are necessary for gravity plastic pipes when designed for use as a sanitary sewer, flowing part full with a free water surface. The limitation for pipes designed...
Parametric Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams using Finite Element Analysis
More sophisticated means of analyses have been investigated to determine the accuracy and applicability of conventional methods to a range of parameters affecting stability. This paper...
Rehabilitation Measures?Wanaque Reservoir System
The rehabilitation of Pompton Lake Dam and the dams of the Wanaque Reservoir System has provided the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission with a safe, dependable source of water...
The Design and Construction of the Washington State Convention and Trade Center Over Interstate 5
The Washington State Convention and Trade Center is a 10-level, 1,000,000-square foot facility constructed over Interstate 5 in downtown Seattle. The project spans over three city streets...
Frame Stability - A Canadian Designer's Approach
The deficiencies and fallacies of the simplistic effective column length approach to frame stability are demonstrated through its application to a 57-story rigidly framed building structure....
Rehab Roundup
Four recent rehabilitation projects are described. On an old concrete gravity dam, post-tensioning tendons were added to improve its resistance to sliding. The abandoned Union Station...
Piedra Del Aguila�New Hydropower for Argentina
Construction commenced in early 1985 on the 1. 0 billion Piedra del Aguila Hydroelectric Project on the Rio Limay about 1200 km (750 mi) southwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The project...
