The use of roller compacted concrete (R.C.C) without conventional cover in important hydraulic structures is investigated through laboratory observation of abrasion phenomena sujected to high velocity flow and floating particles. The main parameters affecting abrasion and erosion resistance of R.C.C. studied in the present study include: "Mixed Hydraulic&#10&#10Mean Radius" (which collectively ...

This brief article aims to reveal the flexural performance, including the equivalent flexural strength of PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) modified concrete by comparing it primarily with that of SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) concrete. This data article is directly related to Karadelis and Lin [6].

As a new type of dam, roller compacted concrete dam (RCCD) develops very fast in recent years. Deformation plays an important role in the RCCD’s safety. The deformation of RCCD is influenced mainly by three parts: water pressure, temperature and time effect. As to any of the three parts, there are many factors. Therefore, the deformation of RCCD is a complicated system. The least squares suppor...

Concrete cylinder piles produced by a centrifugally cast, vibrated, roller-compacted process have shown promising corrosion resistance in marine environments. Three bridges in the Florida panhandle with ~40 years in aggressive marine service and one newly constructed marine bridge utilizing concrete cylinder piles were examined. Examination of the older marine bridges showed minimal corrosion d...
