It? Dam?Selection of Type

by Jos? Antunes Sobrinho,
Joaquim C. da Cunha,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Concrete Face Rockfill Dams?Design, Construction, and Performance

Abstract:

This paper describes the studies carried out for the type of dam selection for the Ita Hydroelectric Project. Drastic rainfall conditions, large river diversion flows and an abundance of construction materials from required excavations were the main factors to be considered. The CFRD proved to be the most suitable solution under these conditions.
