    Uploaded by

    Fabiola Antonia
    The document summarizes aspects of asphalt core rockfill dams in Brazil. It discusses the Foz do Chapecó and Jirau dams, which have heights of 48m and 62m respectively. Details are provided on typical zoning arrangements, with asphalt cores surrounded by fine and coarse transition zones and rockfill. Placement and compaction of the asphalt core and transitions are described. Quality control procedures are also summarized, including testing of materials and monitoring of volumetric deformation.

    QUALITY CONTROL
    1. Rockfill and transitions are controlled for physical indexes. Grading,
    density, void ratio, and compressibility modulus.
    2. Asphalt concrete is controlled for grading and physical indexes for
    aggregates, temperature and voids content.
    3. Asphalt is controlled by:
    Penetration
    Viscosity
    % de insolubles
    % voltile materials
    stability
    Density

    4. Asphalt concrete is controlled by density, % void and asphalt content.

    5. Triaxial tests.
