内容简介

From the first experiences of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) dams began in 1978,there has been a high speed development of RCC technology applied in dam construction throughout the world for the important advantages of being more economical and more efficient. At the end of 2006 there were over 380 large (H>15m) RCC dams either completed or under construction throughout the World. The first RCC dam over 200m in height (Longtan in China) is about to be completed followed by another two or three of the similar height recently. There is now enough confidence in well- desigened RCC dams of 200m high, which can help to achieve an adequate balance between safety, economy and environmental protection.
