ROLLER COMPACTED CONCRETE IN DAM CONSTRUCTION

Mr Nadeem Ahmed Tabassum (Managing Director, GeoBand Lahore) delivered a Webinar lecture to Civil Engineering Department Faculty and Students on "Roller Compacted Concrete in Dam Construction" on Friday, March 26th, 2021. He discussed the advantages of roller-compacted concrete in terms of dam strength and project cost. He discussed his experience with the Wadi Dayqah Dam Project, located near Mazara village, approximately 130 kilometres south of Muscat and approximately 20 kilometres west of Quriyat town, Oman. He determined that the best RCC (Roller compacted concrete) quality is only possible with the optimum parameters of compaction, compressive strength, hydraulic conductivity, and heat of hydration.
