The effect of the gravity on the earthquake performance of roller compacted concrete dams [PDF]

open access: yes
Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a dry concrete mixture often utilized in the construction of large dams. The interlayer of the RCC dam, which is the weakest plane of the structure, can easily fail under hydraulic shear load, geological impact ...
