Features: This book is a part of the "Concrete Technology Series." Drawing on the author's work experience and expertise, it introduces the roller-compacted asphalt concrete (RAC) seepage prevention technology used in water conservancy and hydropower engineering. The book covers raw materials, the performance of asphalt concrete, the mix design of asphalt concrete, construction equipment and techniques for RAC seepage prevention panels and core walls, as well as quality control, project management, and maintenance. It also presents new technologies in asphalt concrete seepage prevention for canals. The appendix at the end of the book discusses the constitutive models and stress calculation methods for asphalt concrete. The book aims to reflect the current development status and level of roller-compacted asphalt concrete seepage prevention technology in China while also introducing relevant foreign technologies and practices. Additionally, it provides targeted insights into the valuable experiences in domestic asphalt concrete road construction, drawing on the practical realities of water conservancy projects in China over the past three to four decades. This book serves as a reference for water conservancy and hydropower engineering professionals in their work and studies, and can also be used as a learning resource for undergraduate and graduate students in related fields, as well as a teaching reference for instructors.
