ABSTRACT
Cemented Sand and Gravel (CSG) is a new–building dam material produced by mixing a small amount of cementitious materials, sand and gravel without screening or washing on site, paving and vibration compaction. Advantages of projects built by CSG are as follows: ① Low cement content and low temperature rising by hydration heat, leading to simple temperature controlling measures. ② Low grading demand of aggregates. Sands and gravels dug from the dam riverbed and excavation. ③ Low cost. The low cement and low aggregate demand reduce the cost. ④ Low environmental impacts. The CSG dams are economical, fast, safe and environment-friendly. So they have broad application potential. In recent years, CSG dams have been used as permanent buildings in Japan, Turkey, Greece, France, Philippines and other countries
