The Cemented Material Dam (CMD) is defined as a series of new dam types utilizing cementitious binder together with various natural or manufactured materials in the construction of a dam. The principles used to design the dam section are different from those used in conventional gravity, rockfill and embankment dams. CMD dams offer the possibility to build dams safely, quickly and economically in an environment-friendly way, to decrease the risk of overtopping failure and the associated flood caused as much as possible, as well as to adapt, in some of the CMD types of dams, conventional "concrete" gravity dam design to foundation conditions usually not acceptable for concrete gravity dam structures. CMD is still in an early stage of development. Further optimization is needed in material preparation, structural design and construction processes to achieve a more uniform level of safety, a cheaper way to build dams with respect to different local materials, and a faster way of construction for different dam foundations.

ICOLD Bulletin 195 is the second of a series of planned bulletins, and introduces material properties (binders, soils), properties of cemented soil, structural design of a Cemented Soil Dam (CSD), investigation, construction, quality control and performance.

Le barrage en matériaux cimentés (CMD) est défini comme une série de nouveaux types de barrages utilisant un liant cimentaire ainsi que divers matériaux naturels ou manufacturés dans la construction d'un barrage. Les principes utilisés pour concevoir la section du barrage sont différents de ceux utilisés dans les barrages-poids, en enrochement et en remblai conventionnels. Les barrages CMD offrent la possibilité de construire des barrages de manière sûre, rapide et économique dans le respect de l'environnement, de réduire autant que possible le risque de rupture de franchissement et les inondations associées provoquées, ainsi que de s'adapter, dans certains des types de CMD. Pour les barrages, la conception conventionnelle des barrages-poids en « béton » répond à des conditions de fondation généralement inacceptables pour les structures de barrages-poids en béton. CMD en est encore à ses premiers stades de développement. Une optimisation plus poussée est nécessaire dans la préparation des matériaux, la conception structurelle et les processus de construction pour atteindre un niveau de sécurité plus uniforme, une manière moins coûteuse de construire des barrages par rapport aux différents matériaux locaux et une méthode de construction plus rapide pour les différentes fondations des barrages.

ICOLD Bulletin 195 est le deuxième d'une série de bulletins prévus et présente les propriétés des matériaux (liants, sols), les propriétés du sol cimenté, la conception structurelle d'un barrage en sol cimenté (CSD), l'enquête, la construction, le contrôle qualité et les performances.

Bridge Maintenance, Safety, Management, Life-Cycle Sustainability and Innovations: Proceedings of th
<p><em>Bridge Maintenance, Safety, Management, Life-Cycle Sustainability and Innovations</em> contains lectures and papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management (IABMAS 2020), held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, April 11-15, 2021. This volume consists of a book of extended abstracts and a multimedia device containing the full papers of 571 contributions presented at IABMAS 2020, including the T.Y. Lin Lecture, 9 Keynote Lectures, and 561 technical papers from 40 countries.</p><p>The contributions presented at IABMAS 2020 deal with the state of the art as well as emerging concepts and innovative applications related to the main aspects of maintenance, safety, management, life-cycle sustainability and technological innovations of bridges. Major topics include: advanced bridge design, construction and maintenance approaches, safety, reliability and risk evaluation, life-cycle management, life-cycle sustainability, standardization, analytical models, bridge management systems, service life prediction, maintenance and management strategies, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing and field testing, safety, resilience, robustness and redundancy, durability enhancement, repair and rehabilitation, fatigue and corrosion, extreme loads, and application of information and computer technology and artificial intelligence for bridges, among others.</p><p>This volume provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of bridge engineering and significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions on maintenance, safety, management, life-cycle sustainability and technological innovations of bridges for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. The Editors hope that these Proceedings will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with bridge structure and infrastructure systems, including engineers, researchers, academics and students from all areas of bridge engineering.</p>
