Efficiency justification for stone-concrete face zone of rockfill dams with reinforced concrete face

At present, over 600 dams with a reinforced concrete face are built worldwide; 7 of them are higher than 200 m. However, most of these dams have an inherent disadvantage – face cracking [1, 2, 3], caused by face deformations resulted from the difference in deformation properties of the face and down...

Description
Summary:At present, over 600 dams with a reinforced concrete face are built worldwide; 7 of them are higher than 200 m. However, most of these dams have an inherent disadvantage – face cracking [1, 2, 3], caused by face deformations resulted from the difference in deformation properties of the face and downstream toe. To solve this problem, the authors consider the arrangement of a massive stone-concrete face zone.
