Features: This book presents the research achievements of Professor Liu Guangting from Tsinghua University over more than ten years dedicated to the development of roller-compacted concrete arch dam design. It includes 100 selected papers, covering fundamental theoretical research in areas such as concrete temperature fracture, compression-shear fracture, three-dimensional curved surface fracture, random stress, and strength of heterogeneous bodies. The book also features research outcomes on new structures of roller-compacted concrete arch dams, biaxial creep of concrete, simulation design of cumulative temperature and self-weight creep, heat and mass transfer, pipe cooling, seepage in fractured rock masses, seepage in soft rock, and strength reduction of saturated soft rock. The fundamental theories and methods, as well as the new structures of roller-compacted concrete arch dams, presented in the book are all innovative achievements by the author and his graduate students. Many of these have been tested in engineering practice and have received widespread acclaim both domestically and internationally. This book is suitable for researchers and engineering technicians in fields such as water resources, civil engineering, and mechanics, as well as for reference by university faculty and students.
