Abstract:
The Oroville Dam core block was completed during the summer of 1963. The dam is on the Feather River, near the city of Oroville, in Northern California, and is a key unit of the California Water Plan. The core block is a 293,000 cu yd mass concrete structure, which is located beneath an earth-fill embankment. This paper describes the design, proportioning, production, and placing of concrete for the core block. Testing and temperature instrumentation results are pre-sented to demonstrate what was achieved with the lean, mass concrete placed under generally hot weather conditions.

We, in Wisconsin, are mighty proud of the quality of concrete products throughout the state. We should make good concrete products for nature has endowed us with an abundance of splendid aggregate. But, for many years, we slipped along in the easiest manner possible. Perhaps the fact that there was such an abundance of natural aggregate was largely responsible for only a fair quality of product produced. In spite of all propaganda and educational matter published on the use of screened and cleaned materials for the manufacture of concrete products, most manufacturers were indifferent. What they were using seemed good enough to get by, and above all, the low price appealed to them.

Can anything new be said about sand? The less experienced know what sand is suitable for mortar, and what is not. The Romans made concrete 2000 years ago, and were familiar with the requirements of a good sand, one of its important ingredients. Clean, coarse sharp sand is generally conceded to be the best. With this in view, it is not surprising that apparently little can be said. Although the subject may seem to have been decided thousands of years ago, I still believe there is much to be learned. I can best illustrate my stand by calling your attention to a few sands, with more or less peculiaritiesm and compare their laboratory tests with a standard.
