Planning, Design and Cost Estimates for RCC Dams
Engineers, planners, and officials of agencies responsible for developing water resource projects are confronted with preparing preliminary designs and cost estimates for dams. This paper...
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...
A Combined RCC and Reinforced Concrete Spillway
Stacy Dam features the latest evolution in the use of roller compacted concrete for construction of spillways. Because of unusual site conditions, RCC will be used in three different parts...
Design of Seepage Control Systems for RCC Dams
As the reservoirs of the first generation of roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams have been filled, several have exhibited significant amounts of seepage, a fact that has been of concern...
Behavior of Completed RCC Dams
Enough roller compacted concrete dams have been completed to allow an overall evaluation of this new approach to construction. Performance has been good. No operational restrictions have...
Strengthening and Raising Gibraltar Dam with RCC
The initial phase of a multiphase investigation program was completed by USBR (U. S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation) personnel to develop geotechnical laboratory testing...
Compaction Parameters of Roller Compacted Concrete
Density in roller compacted concrete is usually achieved through vibratory compaction. Factors of major influence in attaining densification of a structure with a vibrating roller are...
Compaction Characteristics of Roller Compacted Concrete
This paper describes a fundamental study on the compaction characteristics of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) in the fresh state during vibration through a laboratory test and a field...
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...
Bond Strength of Roller Compacted Concrete
Roller compacted concrete, or RCC, is a dam construction method which consists of placing horizontal layers of no-slump concrete in 1- to 3-ft (0. 3- to 0. 9-m) lifts and compacting the...
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...
Monksville Dam: Design Evolution and Construction
This paper documents the application of experience gained at other RCC projects to the Monskville Dam. The evolution of the design and its translation to construction are presented together...
Design and Construction of Lower Chase Creek Dam
Lower Chase Creek Dam is a roller compacted concrete flood control dam located in a generally dry creek in eastern Arizona. Dam design, including the site investigation and start-up of...
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....
Construction of Upper Stillwater Dam
This paper describes the equipment, placing methods, and peak production rates from the contractor's viewpoint for both the Roller Compacted Concrete and the Slipformed Facing...
Quality Control/Inspection�Upper Stillwater Dam
Roller compacted concrete construction, or RCC, is a relatively new method of constructing concrete dams and involves placing and spreading no-slump concrete in horizontal layers and compacting...
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...
Quality of Works in RCC in France: A Contractor's Solution
Bec Freres S. A. , a French dam contractor, introduced the technique of roller compacted concrete (RCC) into France. The first two French RCC dams were built as a result of a program of...
