In this course the student will understand the principles, methods, and considerations involved in the use of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) for civil works structures, particularly dams. They will gain foundational knowledge of material properties, mix design, construction techniques, and quality assurance protocols essential to RCC implementation.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PE
SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL OBTAINED
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
Define roller-compacted concrete and distinguish it from conventional concrete and embankment materials in terms of composition and application
Evaluate the suitability of materials, including aggregates, cementitious substances, and admixtures, for RCC construction
Design RCC mixture proportions to meet structural and performance criteria based on strength, durability, and workability requirements
Apply best practices for RCC placement, compaction, and construction using specialized equipment and techniques
Implement quality assurance and quality control procedures throughout the RCC construction process
Analyze the performance of RCC structures post-construction with respect to watertightness, durability, and structural integrity
