BRAZILIAN INTERNATIONAL ROLLER COMPACTED CONCRETE (RCC) SYMPOSIUM Brazil is one of the major countries in terms of works carried out using RCC. More than 50 dams for hydro generation and water supply were built and new RCC dams are on their way. This is an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the technical news and to know the all about the new developments in design, constructions and quality control, as well as to interact with international experts on this theme. Official languages will be Portuguese and English. The IBRACON is committed to creating opportunity for professional development, for information sharing and dissemination, and for the continuous improvement of the field of CCR.
