Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) dams are critical infrastructure, playing an important role in economic and social development. However, dam failure can cause great losses. To mitigate hazards, studies of methods to deal with the uncertainty involved in the comprehensive evaluation process of the safety state of RCC dams are hot issues. Interval number theory is applied to quantify the uncertainty in this study. A comprehensive evaluation indicator system is explored, an approach to allocating the indicator weight rationally is proposed, and a comprehensive evaluation model is established. Comprehensive evaluation standards are developed. An RCC dam in China is used to illustrate the applicability of this comprehensive evaluation method based on interval number theory. The results indicate that the method and models proposed are suitable for comprehensively evaluating the safety state of RCC dams and can be used as a new procedure to monitor the safety of an RCC dam.

“…However, the difference in strength and stiffness properties between the main hard ll dam body and impervious element, especially in the case of conventional concrete, may impose the non-uniformity in settlement and even leads to cracks in the rigid upstream face. Besides, in most of the aforementioned cases, the upstream impervious face should be constructed after completing the dam body (Gouvas and Orfanos 2014) and this can be time-consuming. Also, some speci c procedures are required for connecting the upstream face to the main body of the hard ll dam.…”

This paper aims to achieve a specific type of cemented sand-gravel mixtures with low permeability to implement in the impervious zone of hardfill dams. To this end, various mixtures are prepared by blending two native soils of sand and gravel with different amounts of kaolinite or bentonite additives in presence of various cement content. The compaction properties, uniaxial compressive strength, permeability and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of mixtures are measured. According to the results, the cemented mixture containing 10% of kaolinite additive regardless of native soil type exhibits the maximum strength. However, the bentonite disturbs the cement hydration in the mixture, and the strength of mixtures especially with high cement content decreases with increasing the bentonite content. The permeability of mixtures is related to the amount of cement and fine additive in the mixture. The permeability of both cemented sand and gravel mixtures decreases with increasing the bentonite additive. However, the kaolinite additive has a limited influence on the permeability of cemented gravel mixtures. The lowest permeability is achieved in the mixture involving the higher amount of bentonite (with a weight ratio of 30%) in presence of adequate cement.

“…Specifically, shear strength parameters like the friction coefficient and the cohesive force are directly related to the optimization of section configuration (Farinha et al 2015). The shear strength parameters of CSGR dams may refer to: A roller compacted dam (RCD) (Park et al 2007) go; A lean RCC dam (Gouvas & Orfanos 2014); A grout-enriched vibratable RCC dam (GEVR); and a medium mortar RCC dam (Asmida et al 2017;Shi & Fang 2006). The RCD method was developed in Japan (Schrader 1977) and mainly follows the column method of a conventionally vibrated concrete (CVC) dam, including construction joint curing, surface roughening, cleaning and paving mortar.…”

“…Both Shimajigawa and Okawa Dams are typical examples (Nagataki et al 2008). Lean RCC dams are derived from the concept of earth-rock dam construction (Gouvas & Orfanos 2014). Without layer treatment, the amount of cement is 60-120 kg/m 3 and the inter-laminar shear cohesive force is 2.5-3.0 MPa.…”
