Features: Concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDS) have gained significant attention in the dam engineering community due to their excellent safety, adaptability, and economic benefits, and have become a highly competitive new type of dam. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the construction of CFRDS using modern technology, this academic symposium was held, and domestic peers responded actively, providing 117 papers that cover the latest achievements and experiences in comprehensive, design, construction, operation, and research aspects, such as the spillway on the dam crest, GPS filling quality control technology, squeezing edge wall slope stabilization technology, CFRDS with toe plates built on cover layers, new techniques in mathematical and physical simulation, and dam prototype monitoring. The book also introduces practical experiences from existing and ongoing projects, including the world's highest dam, the Shuibuya Dam. Many of the papers are subsequently published. They are essential reference materials for scientists and engineers engaged in surveying, design, construction, operation, research, and teaching in dam engineering, as well as for students and faculty in relevant disciplines at universities and colleges.
