ABSTRACT
Roller compacted concrete is a new proceeding in Algeria. This technique is applied to dam construction. The dam of Beni Haroun constructed in Wilaya of Mila is one of the biggest dams in Africa and one of the first executed with roller compacted concrete. The present paper describes the different steps from the concrete formulation, to the fabrication and control. This new technique is destined to reduce the cost and dams construction time without affecting their security. For Algeria that the need of water is very important, it is well to more developing this proceeding.
