Cemented particle material dam is a transitional dam type between particle material dam and concrete dam (rolled-compacted concrete dam)
constituting a novel dam construction method. Due to its low requirements for dam construction materials
minimal use of cementing agents
convenient and rapid construction
and satisfactory structural safety
this dam type has seen rapid development in recent years. This paper analyzes the rational selection of dam construction materials and the structural design of cemented particle material dam to provide a basis for comparing dam types for the Muyuan reservoir project.
