How does a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) dam differ from a conventional concrete dam?
The two primary ways that roller-compacted concrete (RCC) dams differ from conventional concrete dams are in their construction method and material composition. RCC is made by compacting a dry, no-slump concrete mix with powerful rollers, which speeds up construction and saves money. Compared to conventional dams, which need wet concrete to be poured into forms to achieve the same strength, RCC dams consume less water and dry faster. This method expedites the construction process and is often used for large-scale, straightforward mass gravity dam locations. For RCC dams to have structural integrity and endurance, the mix and compaction process need to be carefully controlled. They function well on projects with simple access to materials and a completion date.
