Abstract
Cirata dam, located on the Citarum River in the West Java District, the Republic of lndonesia, was succesfully completed in 1988. The purpose of the dam is power generation.
The dam is concrete faced rockfill type (CFRD), 126m high, 453m long at the crest, and has a volume of about 3.8×106m3 of rockfill.
In Japan, however, for various reasons, there are no data on CFRDs available for reference concerning newly innovated designs and construction techniques, observations of dam behavior during and after reservoir impounding, etc.
Thus, this paper deals mainly with the following two points which are regarded to be peculiar and especially important for CFRDs.
(1) Dam structures and instrumentations.
(2) Observations of dam behavior after the first year of operation and interpretation of the observed data.
Several materials listed at the end of this paper are available for further references.
