Roller compacted concrete (RCC) represents a major advance in dam-building technology. The RCC method speeds construction and reduces the costs of building without compromising safety. This work focuses on the cutting edge of RCC design technology, describing the costs and benefits of a variety of technical approaches, and offering an extensive survey of completed RCC dams and the participants involved in building them.
