The History of Rock-Filled Concrete Dams
This chapter reviews the history of rock-filled concrete dams. This history explores the story of continuing efforts from conceiving rock-filled concrete, setting engineering practices, and improving knowledge to advancing design and construction techniques, and dams particularly crucial to the story are selected. In early development, the first rock-filled concrete dam built in 2005, with a height of 14.5 m, Baoquan Auxiliary Dam with fully mechanized construction, and the Qingyu Reservoir are provided as solid examples, providing a full set of technical documents for the first time. Without question, these projects were stepping stones for us, forming a major platform for advancing to other, greater rock-filled concrete projects. The development of rock-filled concrete gravity and arch dams, the state of practice, and the preparation and issue of related codes are also introduced.
