ICOLD Bulletin 145, The Physical Properties of Hardened Conventional Concrete in Dams, provides a comprehensive treatise on the physical properties of hardened conventional concrete for dams, refreshing the partial information. Most of the book addresses physical properties of mass concrete used most frequently in the design and analysis of concrete dams and appurtenant structures. These include strength, elastic, creep, shrinkage and thermal properties, permeability, and frost resistance. This Bulletin aims, for each property considered, to show typical behaviour, factors influencing it, methods for experimental determination, and, last but not least, methods to introduce the properties in mathematical models to be utilized both for design and observation.

Le Bulletin 145 de la CIGB, Propriétes Physiques du Béton Conventionnel Durci des Barrages, fournit un traité complet sur les propriétés physiques du béton conventionnel durci pour les barrages, actualisant les informations partielles. La majeure partie du livre traite des propriétés physiques du béton de masse utilisé le plus fréquemment dans la conception et les analyses des barrages en béton et des structures annexes. Ceux-ci incluent la résistance, l'élasticité, le fluage, le retrait et les propriétés thermiques, la perméabilité et la résistance au gel. Ce Bulletin vise, pour chaque propriété considérée, à montrer le comportement typique, les facteurs qui l'influencent, les méthodes de détermination expérimentale et, enfin et surtout, les méthodes pour introduire les propriétés dans les modèles mathématiques à utiliser à la fois pour la conception et l'observation.

The Commission Internationale des Grands Barrages (CIGB) / International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) is a non-governmental International Organization which provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience in dam engineering. The Organization leads the profession in ensuring that dams are built safely, efficiently, economically, and without detrimental effects on the environment. Its original aim was to encourage advances in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of large dams and their associated civil works, by collecting and disseminating relevant information and by studying related technical questions. Since the late sixties, focus was put on subjects of current concern such as dam safety, monitoring of performance, reanalysis of older dams and spillways, effects of ageing and environmental impact. More recently, new subjects include cost studies at the planning and construction stages, harnessing international rivers, information for the public at large, and financing.
