Abstract/Additional Information

Updated version of the Bulletin on "Rockfill Dams with Concrete Facing" (Bull 70).

During the decade of the 1990s, the concrete face rockfill dam has become common. A cursory review of the listing of CFRDs in the appendix indicates the widespread use and popularity of this type of dam.

The updated Bulletin is devoted to design concepts, analysis, foundation treatment, instrumentation, construction, and performance.
