Tests on rolling technology of four-graded RCC were carried out on dam site and then recommended construction parameters of four-graded RCC was proposed, which aimed to provide technique support for application of four-graded RCC in hydropower projects. Results show that when water consumption is 71kg/m3 and VC value is 3s~5s of four-graded RCC, large aggregates are coated with mortar sufficiently and the mixture has good performance of being-rolled and anti-separation. Recommended parameters of four-graded RCC are as follows: 2 times without vibration+6 times with vibration+2 times without vibration for 0.4m-thick layer, 2 times without vibration+8 times with vibration+2 times without vibration for 0.5m-thick layer, with rolling exciting force 395kN and walking speed 1.0~1.5km/h. Then the relative compaction of four-graded RCC can reach or exceed 98.0%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
