摘要

The use of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) to rehabilitate existing dams and build new dams is now more than two decades old. Since its introduction, RCC has become a powerful tool to dam safety design engineers. The use of RCC to provide overtopping protection for existing embankment dams has now passed the 70 projects mark and another dozen old concrete or masonry dams have been buttressed using RCC. In addition, about 25% of the 65 new RCC gravity dams built in the United States to date have replaced failed, poorly performing or structurally inadequate existing dams. Nearly all of the dams that required replacement were older embankment dams. In order to properly provide quality control to the RCC being produced and placed, tests were needed to assure that the specified mixture proportions were being produced, the RCC had the desired consistency and had been compacted to a required minimum density. In addition, RCC test specimens needed to be prepared that produced properties similar to those achieved in the actual project. It soon became apparent that some test methods that had been used for conventional slump concrete or in some cases for soils could be used for RCC. However, some new test methods needed to be developed for RCC that were unique to the no-slump consistency of the material. In the development of new test methods for RCC construction, much has been learned. Some tests that were used early in this development have fallen out of favor while some continue to be used. However, some of the test standards that were accepted earlier need modification and some only have a certain range of applicability depending upon the consistency of the RCC mixture. Another important factor in quality control for RCC is the test section or trial placement. This is because many contractors or their key personnel are not very familiar with RCC construction or the specific requirements of the project. Again, much has been learned about the design and execution of test sections in order to obtain the greatest benefit for the cost involved.
