Needs and Challenges in Dam Construction
Vibrating-compacted concrete
Complicated process with vibrating, cooling
pipe placing, etc. High heat, of hydrationcomplicated temperature control, easy to
crack, high project cost
Masonry & Rubble concrete
Low technology required, low cost,
suitable for small-sized projects. Hard
for quality control with low level of
mechanization. Eliminated gradually
because of increasing labor costs.
Roller compacted concrete
Large working space and heavy
machinery required, only be suitable
for large-sized projects, and hard to be
used for ultra-high dam construction
Urgent need for a new -type concrete construction way
– Simple process, ease for quality control: No vibrating and temperature
control
– High speed, high efficiency: make best use of the mechanical operation
– Low cost, easy to popularization: Low cement required
– Wide adaptation：suitable for different size of working space
2、Technology Development
(R&D)
SCC: to meet the needs Technology of Self-Compacting Concrete
(SCC), developed in concrete lab, University
of Tokyo, Japan.
SCC Family in Japan
SCC was invented in 1980s
More and more Reinforced Concrete projects have been built by SCC due to good workability and high durability
SCC is difficult to use in Mass Concrete due to high price and high adiabatic temperature rise
