are used, the arch can be formed by adjusting the width of vertical
joints. However, the width difference between the two ends of one
joint should be less than 1cm for arch dams and less than 2cm for mul⁃
tiple arch dams.
6 The surface of dam formwork seam (settlement joints) shall
be kept upright.
7 The construction of multiple arch dams shall comply with the
following regulations:
1) The concrete contact surface between the arch barrel and
the buttress shall be treated as a construction joint.
2) The stone⁃laying of all arch barrels shall rise up at the
same rate. For the condition of different rates, the level
difference between two adjacent arch barrels shall meet the
requirements for buttress stability.
3) When an inclined arch barrel is built, the concrete skew⁃
back with an inclined plane ( which is perpendicular to
the inclined plane of arch barrel) should be formed in ad⁃
vance on the bedrock. Then stones are laid on this skew⁃
back, and the surface of the laid stones shall be kept per⁃
pendicular to the inclined plane of the inclined arch.
8 The overhang construction of dam surfaces shall comply with
the following regulations:
1) If irregular stones are used and laid horizontally, they
shall be processed and marked one by one according to
the overhang degree, and then placed according to the
mark.
2 ) For overhang stairs construction, the width in the
protruding direction shall be shorter than 1 / 5 of the
stone s width.
3) For vertical overhang construction of coarse work stone,
