The new dam uses 2.8 million cu yd of RCC and 300,000 cu yd of conventional facing concrete. “It’s the largest RCC dam in North America,” says Carl Rizzo. It is 1.26 miles long, 120 ft tall ...

2. Tha Dan Dam, Thailand, 4,900,000 cu m of RCC. Formally called the Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam, it is 93 m tall and 2,720 m long. Tractebel Engineering handled preliminary design and works supervision.

The failures in the concrete spillway will be investigated for a long time. But some of the nation’s top civil engineers are already pointing to some likely suspects: design flaws, misunderstood ...

An independent analysis of the spillway failure at Oroville Dam concludes that extensive sections of the concrete structure disintegrated due to a series of design, construction and maintenance flaws ...

The concrete structure, nearly 2,000 feet long, is 58 feet high in places, including about 20 feet below ground. The dam stands in the path of waters that naturally merge with the headwaters of ...

The dam's spillway broke apart in February when underground water pressure lifted a section of the concrete floor into the flow of water and caused rapid erosion of the foundation, a report found.
