·To reproduce the reality concrete specimens need to be evaluated with thicknesses at minimum of ∼50 mm in order to preserve the structural properties of concrete composite materials [17 18] Then the problem arises especially for the very well compressed real and real size concrete specimens dam compacted concrete specimens which shows
Roller compacted concrete RCC is a type of concrete that can support a roller during its unhardened state while it is being compacted The placement and compaction of RCC is a rapid construction process and therefore its success relies on the pre construction planning and coordination of all interrelated activities
·Induced joint is seen as a kind of crack prevention measure for roller compacted concrete arch dam Whether induced joints can crack firstly when the temperature drops of dam body to release temperature stress and control disordered cracks mainly depends on the equivalent strength structural form and arrangement of joints
·Abstract Teesta Low Dam Stage IV is a run off the river project in the lower cascade of River Teesta with installed capacity of 160 MW that includes Roller Compacted Concrete Dam RCC RCC refers to the dry concrete with essentially no slump which is spread in layers and then compacted by rollers similar to earth & rock fill material
·The applied technology of high roller compacted concrete RCC dams is quite complicated because of various risk factors including the weather condition supply of concrete aggregate efficiency of transport machinery and dam surface machinery and so on In order to ensure the comprehensiveness accuracy and objectivity of construction schedule risk
·Roller Compacted Concrete RCC Gravity Dams The design of RCC gravity dams is similar to conventional concrete structures The differences lie in the construction methods concrete mix design and details of appurtenant structures Construction of an RCC dam is a relatively new and economical concept
·The term Roller Compacted Concrete RCC describes the concrete used in the construc tion of dams combining the cost effective and rapid placing techniques that are used for earth fill dams with the strength and durability of concrete and gets its name from the heavy rollers that are used to compact it into its final form
·In this study a seepage prediction model was established for roller compacted concrete dams using support vector regression SVR with hybrid parameter optimization HPO The model includes data processing via HPO and machine learning through SVR HPO benefits from the correlation extraction capability of grey relational analysis and the dimensionality
