ABSTRACT

Is it necessary to specify a cement or pozzolanic material that is not available in a Country or Region, just with the objective of applying CCR? Is it necessary to establish conditioning items for application of the methodology and not for the Product, due to the fact it is RCC? Is it necessary to require a typology of form or insertion of material in the contraction joint of a gravity type dam, just for the reason that it is built with RCC? RCC is a Construction Methodology that was established with the objective of simplifying the construction and not to complicate it. The Technical Specifications must aim at the Process or the Product? Questions of this kind are approached and discussed along the text, where a reflection on Construction Methodology is made, considering the period of more than two decades of RCC use.
