RCC Technical Seminar and Site Tour RCC for Dams and Dam Rehabilitation April 25-26, 2007
In
Cooperation with: Information will be presented on the current trends in the design and construction of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) for water resource applications. Design of RCC mixtures, specifications, and quality control procedures will be covered. Case studies will be presented on small to medium size RCC gravity dams and RCC overtopping spillways.
A field trip has been organized to nearby RCC project sites. These
will include at least one RCC gravity dam and one RCC emergency
spillway/overtopping protection of earth embankment. Attendees will
be able to observe completed projects and, depending on construction
schedule at two project sites tentatively scheduled for construction,
the attendees may also observe RCC placement and on-site RCC mixing
plants. Who Should Attend Consulting engineers, contractors, testing laboratories, dam safety regulators, government agencies, dam owners, and others who are interested in learning more about the recent applications and advances in the design and construction with RCC. Faculty Instructors are experienced in the latest design and construction principles and methods for RCC technology. They are active in their field of expertise and have volunteered their time to share their knowledge and experiences. Continuing Education Units The continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized measure of accomplishment in continuing education. The Portland Cement Association will provide a certificate by mail for 1.2 CEU’s to each seminar attendee. Course Materials Each registrant will receive the PCA design manuals for spillways and small gravity dams. These manuals provide designers and contractors the latest information for using RCC for overtopping spillways and gravity dams for water supply and flood control. Location & Accommodations
The following hotels are located within 0.1 to 0.9 miles from Maggiano’s:

Speakers
will discuss completed projects and projects currently under construction,
including RCC gravity dams and overtopping spillways. PCA has developed
several engineering design manuals to assist engineers in the design
of these types of RCC structures. Principal authors of these bulletins
will discuss designing gravity dams, spillways, and overtopping
protection. |
