Features: This book provides design and construction methods and ideas for ongoing and future earth-rockfill dam projects, based on a comprehensive summary of the construction technology, experience, and existing problems of existing and ongoing projects. It collects a large number of data from recently constructed projects, including 31 representative earth-rockfill dam projects: 10 earthfill dams with soil core, 14 concrete-faced rockfill dams, 5 earth-rockfill dams with asphalt core, and 2 earth-rockfill dams with geomembrane core. These projects represent China's most advanced dam construction technology, marking that China's earth-rockfill dam construction technology has reached a world-leading level. This book is suitable as a design manual and construction manual for hydroelectric and water conservancy surveyors, designers, and constructors, as research material for research institutions and universities, and as a guide and reference for various aspects of hydroelectric and water conservancy projects.
