Mechanics Property and Construction Control of the Asphaltic Concrete Core Wall in Embankment Dam
茅坪溪土石坝沥青混凝土心墙的力学特性与施工控制

The Maopingxi embankment dam with distinctive asphaltic concrete core wall, a top-grade permanent structure in the first-class structures in accordance with the Chinese specifications, is important part of the Three Gorges Project. Based on a large number of testing study, numerical calculation and construction technology studies, the mechanics property of the asphaltic concrete core wall is studied to have relation to the compound ratio, forming method, loading velocity, temperature and soak time. Finally, the methods of construction control for the asphaltic concrete core wall are put forward.
