Abstract

In this study, the suitability of CFGD(concrete faced gravefill dam) was investigated by examining the strength and deformation characteristics of a gravelfill material, a CFGD main fill material, and comparing them with those of several rockfill dam materials. The gravelfill material exhibited similar strength and deformation properties to those of the main fill materials of existing stable large rockfill dams. Since not only CFGD has environmental and economic advantages over CFRD, but its main fill material compares favorably with those of the existing stable CFRDs, CFGD may be the best choice when natural gravel materials are abundant in the vicinity of the dam construction location.
