Report on Roller-Compacted Mass Concrete

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is probably the most important development in concrete dam technology in the past quarter century. The use of RCC has allowed many new dams to become economically feasible due to the reduced cost realized from the rapid construction method. It also has provided design engineers with an opportunity to economically rehabilitate

Practices for Evaluation of Concrete in Existing Massive Structures for Service Conditions 9

Practices for Evaluation of Concrete in Existing Massive Structures for Service Conditions

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description Deteriorating infrastructure continues to be a growing concern. Accurate information on the condition of concrete in a massive structure is critical to evaluating its safety and service ability. This information is required by decisionmakers to determine if repair or replacement is necessary and to select optimum repair techniques where conditions require. The guidelines for

Guide for Conducting a Visual Inspection of Concrete in Service

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description By completing a visual inspection of the concrete immedi-ately after construction, and through repetition at intervalsduring the concrete’s service life, the visual inspectionprovides important historical information on performanceand durability. The inspection results also aid in earlydetection of distress and deterioration, enabling repair orrehabilitation before replacement is necessary. It is important that the inspector properly

Guide for Tolerance Compatibility in Concrete Construction 14

Guide for Tolerance Compatibility in Concrete Construction

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description Evaluating tolerance compatibility at the interface between concrete and other building systems is challenging because materials, products, and elements that connect to the concrete often have tolerances that differ from those for concrete. Coordinating these different tolerances early in the project reduces problems that can impact quality, cost, and schedule during construction. Architects and
