A Mix Design for Lining Concrete of Concrete-face Rock-Fill
DamsA concrete face rock-fill damAs defined by Wikipedia, a
concrete-face rock-fill dam is a rock-fill dam with concrete slabs
on its upstream face. This design offers the concrete slab as an
impervious wall to prevent leakage and also a structure without
concern for uplift pressure. In addition, theconcrete-face
rock-fill dam design is flexible for topography, faster to
construct and less costly than earth-fill dams.A typical mix design
for lining concrete of rock-filled dams.ComponentsUnitQuantity
