Modern Rockfill Dams, Including Rockfill-Reinforced Earth Dams: Planning, Design and Construction

R. A. Airapetyan

The book deals with the principal design and construction problems of modern rockfill and rockfill-reinforced earth dams. In providing a detailed review of dams built in the last hundred years and an analysis of the design and construction principals of recently built dams, the author offers guidelines on the choice of type, design and materials for rockfill dams, as well as on their analysis and the required computations. The author mainly dwells on questions applying to high and 'superhigh' dams, such as are being built on a large scale at present. Appendices provide the principal data on 56 dams, completed or under construction, and descriptions of 13 of the most remarkable of them. (Author)
