STUDIES OF AUTOGENOUS VOLUME CHANGE IN CONCRETE FOR DWORSHAK DAM

THE AUTOGENOUS VOLUME CHANGE WAS MEASURED IN MASS CONCRETE MIXTURES HAVING CEMENTING MATERIALS, PORTLAND CEMENT, AND POZZOLAN, RANGING FROM 222 TO 302 LB PER CU YD (132 TO 179 KG-CUBIC METERS). SOME CONCRETE CONTAINED POZZOLANS REPLACING 30 PERCENT OF THE PORTLAND CEMENT BY ABSOLUTE VOLUME AND OTHERS CONTAINED NO POZZOLAN. ONE MIXTURE CONTAINED A 50 PERCENT POZZOLAN REPLACEMENT. SEVEN POZZOLANS FROM A WIDE RANGE OF SOURCES WERE USED. OBSERVATION PERIODS HAVE EXTENDED TO 3 YEARS. THIS INVESTIGATION WAS PERFORMED IN CONNECTION WITH THE U. S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS' DESIGN OF DWORSHAK DAM, NORTH FORK CLEARWATER RIVER NEAR OROFINO, IDAHO. /ACI/
