On-Demand Webinar: RCC Applications in Dam Engineering - What We Have Learned and What's New
Association of State Dam Safety Officials, 2013
This webinar will focus on the many applications of RCC in dam engineering, including RCC dams, RCC overtopping protection, and RCC use in cofferdams. Other topics to be covered will be RCC for raising and rehabilitating existing concrete dams and RCC for grade control structures and stilling basin erosion protection. Emphasis will be placed on small to medium volume RCC projects including hints on cost effective design and and estimating.
In addition to presenting a basic introduction to RCC, case studies will be presented to illustrate the performance of RCC dams with respect to thermal induced cracking and earthquake resistance. In many cases, “Analysis vs. Reality” will be explored. Performance of RCC overtopping protection when subjected to infrequent overflows or day-to-day weathering will be discussed, including potential solutions. The main objective of the course will be to upgrade the attendee’s knowledge of the many potential uses of RCC in dam engineering and new developments in applying this construction method in order to prepare more cost effective, better performing designs.
