At the time being, they have been successfully applied to the constructions of even extreme-high gravity dams and medium to high arch dams. There are a few of hundreds of RCC dams (RCCD) under design and/or construction in China. One of the main concerned technical problems according to the construction is about the understanding of the property of seepage in RCCDs and the relevant theory and methods for the control of the seepage. In order to overcome the problem, the senior author has been engaged in a wide study on the property and methods for control of seepage in RCCDs for more than 10 years. The property of seepage, measures for watertightness and drainage, optimal design and construction schemes for control of seepage in the dams have been essentially understood either in theory and practice. The results have been applied for the construction and the backanalysis of several dams. The paper describes the research findings in detail with respect to the theoretical fundament and their application for a high RCC gravity dam.20062018-05-17 11:13:36Znanstveno delo70509slFakulteta za gradbeništvo, prometno inženirstvo in arhitekturo Univerze v Mariboru
