Review on research progress of cemented sand and gravel dam

Abstract

As an environmentally friendly, green, and low-carbon construction material, cemented sand and gravel (CSG) dam is widely used in civil engineering and water conservation projects in China. This study describes the progress of research on CSG dams (materials) in recent years, including the progress of engineering related to cemented gravel dams, the static, dynamic, and thermodynamic properties and intrinsic structure models of dam building materials, the static, dynamic, and temperature field analysis of dam structures, and the design of dam profiles; and on this basis, it proposes the direction of further research and development of cemented gravel structures, which will provide research for new cemented gravel structures in China. Structure design, old and diseased engineering structure removal and reinforcement, and safety assessment to provide research status and new ideas.
