Spanish National Committee on Large Dams (SPANCOLD), Japan Commission on Large Dams (JCOLD) and Chinese National Committee on Large Dams (CHINCOLD) have the honor to invite professionals to the 9th International Symposium on Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) Dams and Cemented Material Dams, which will be held in December, 2023 in Guangzhou City, China.

RCC dams have the virtues of saving a great deal of concrete, building quickly, making project cost down and early bringing into playing project advantages and so on. Hence, the technique of constructing dams has been quickly spread and applied since it came out. Today there are more than 400 RCC dams in more than 40 countries. Great successful experiences and advanced technologies have been achieved. CHINCOLD and SPANCOLD have devoted to promote the technology from early 1990’s. The first Symposium on RCC dams was jointly organized by the two committees in 1991 in Beijing China, which was a success start of the series of RCC Symposiums.

Cemented Material Dam (CMD) is a new type of dams, which includes Hardfill dam, Cemented Sand and Gravel dam (CSG), Cemented Sand, Gravel and Rock dam (CSGR), Rock-filled Concrete dam (RCD), Cemented Soil dam (CSD), and so on. There are more than 200 CMD projects constructed and under construction.

The 9th International Symposium on Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) Dams and Cemented Material Dams will provide a platform for practitioners, engineers, researchers, scientists, managers and decision makers from all over the world to exchange ideas and technology about the latest developments dealing with RCC dams and CMDs. Beside international best practice, the participants will also have the occasion to visit some famous RCC dams and CMDs in China in operation or under construction.
