Serving the hydro power and dam construction industries since 1949 Bayardo Materón reflects on his experience of working with compacted rockfill dams compacted rockfill dams began to evolve and grew in height over a short period from 110m to concrete-faced structures approaching 300m high 1 presents the record of CFRD and Asphalt Core type dams built with compacted rockfill indicating the years in which they were the highest dams in the world except for Brazil’s Campos Novos Dam which had noticeable breaks Campos Novos was built with the following characteristics: L 592m; L/H 2.93; A/H2 2.60 – Basalt The dam had a rapid lowering of the reservoir due to problems in the diversion tunnels but this allowed us to see the arrangement of the central and lateral cracks that affected the slab slab fractures also occurred at other CFRD type dams Built in China it was 178m high with the following characteristics: L 1104m; L/H = 6.2; A/H2 5.68 This dam presented fractures in the central part which were repaired during lowering of the reservoir the same type of breakage could be observed which was corrected using a compressible membrane that would mitigate the movement of the slabs avoiding the transfer of forces that would break the slab It should also be noted that the rockfill of this dam is made of limestone that tends to produce a well-graded rockfill with good compaction characteristics Other slab fractures also occurred at the 185m high Barra Grande Dam in Brazil Built with the following characteristics: L -665m L/H 3.59; A/H2 3.16 – Basalt it had breakage in the central compression joints Table 2 identifies a group of CFRD type dams that were identified as possibly having problems with fracturing of the main slab and were studied and corrected to avoid breaks in the slab The Bakún dam slab was built in two stages The lower stage 1 from the middle to the river bed and the upper stage 2 to the crown of the dam Observations of the fractured dams indicated lower slab breaks and it was necessary to cut the lower joints of face 1 to introduce deformable wood that would mitigate the breakage of the slabs The central joints were cut with a steel disc to introduce wood that mitigates the movements of the slabs and prevents their fracture The top of the slab was built 10cm thicker and very well controlled and a high dam that could have had fractures in the slab was built without problems At the 196m high Karahnjukar Dam in Iceland the upper part of the left slab was built independently and in the central part similar recommendations that were recommended for Bakun were undertaken and compressible elements were placed in the central part that mitigated the potential movements of the central slabs Karahnjukar was built with basalt with high compressibility modules and its behaviour has been adequate Mexico’s La Yesca and El Cajón dams were built with compacted rockfill with high densities and excellent compressibility modules greater than 100 Mpa This set of dams suffered variations in the design but the general behaviour is proof that by adapting rapid non-conventional measures it was possible to build the slabs without problems of excessive breaks the abutments of this 211m high dam were very steep but the rockfills were built with adequate specifications to obtain high capacities and low void ratios Chaglla has performed well with no breakage of the main slab During decades of dam construction with compacted rockfill it has been concluded that it’s feasible to design and build this type of CFRD and ACRD with heights close to 300m with the following recommendations in mind: Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the Progressive Media network. © Business Trade Media International Limited.

Today, fewer than 50 percent of Brazilians identify as Roman Catholic, down from 92 percent in 1970 the Catholic Church remains deeply enmeshed Brazil's economy and society Among its many footholds is a little-known tradition called the Movimento das Capelinhas or "small chapel movement." This phenomenon which takes place in hundreds of cities and towns across Brazil centers on the circulation among Catholic households of small sanctuaries containing a Virgin Mary statuette Such systems appeal because they exchange a narrow focus on economic value (only money matters) for a broader definition of what has value to people By circulating dear objects in a certain pattern these collaborative networks distribute their benefits to all involved and the "profit" goes well beyond the small economic bump communities may see The small chapel movement forms part of a long history of Roman Catholic rituals involving sacred relics and statues sent out to tour the world's parishes Brazil's moving Marys pay one-day "visits" to various parishioners' homes in a semi-formal process determined by neighbors Most chapel groups include about 30 families such that each family receives one visit a month Local clergy oversee the Marys' progress around town In doing their rounds, our research found these peripatetic chapels do more than just physically circulate - their travels actually create profit and value for participants The end result is a de facto local Catholic "economy," one based on shared values rather than money Curitiba's system is well-coordinated by the church with approximately 100 volunteer mensageiras (messengers) who steward an estimated 10,000 small chapels from household to household Approximately 100 Marys circulate among local Catholics overseen by about the same number of mensageiras For participating communities in both cities, the effect of the moving chapels is to create an alternative economy one based not on traditional capitalist values but on participation Households make monetary donations to the Catholic Church for the honor of hosting a chapel Some small capelinhas even come equipped with their own coin slot Host families and community members see less tangible but equally valuable benefits from the traveling Marys it's social status: Working as your neighborhood's representative of the church is a prestigious role parishes and communities interconnected by the regular visitation of these small chapels There is a spiritual value, too. For Catholics, Mary, as the mother of Jesus Christ and recipients of the small chapels that house her feel blessed by their access to divinity The Brazilian Catholic church carefully manages this aspect of the chapel visits, presenting them as a source of comfort. The Marys "move," says church doctrine, and in doing so sustain their devotees emotionally The capelinhas often become a favored local symbol of their family group transcending their religious significance to be The church also takes to Facebook and to the pulpit to recognize the volunteers who help to circulate the chapels Lauding participants in the small chapel movement gives them a special social status or what we call "reputational value" - another benefit created by this alternative economy The church actively promotes the social and reputational value of the Marys the small chapels will be given new circulation routes as a welcome to new parishioners Priests in Curitiba train and mentor the small chapel messengers helping to ensure that the Marys circulate in ways that mutually benefit all participants One type of value often translates into another Spiritual value becomes economic whenever someone donates to a small chapel is used to educate an apprentice priest or to introduce a new route for a small chapel This article was originally published on The Conversation.

Had the Campos Novos dam failed during the rainy season, disaster may have followed GIANT cracks have opened in one of the world’s tallest dams, just months after completion. The cracks appeared after a tunnel collapsed on 20 June beneath the 200-metre-high Campos Novos dam in southern Brazil, and the reservoir rapidly emptied. At one point, 4000 cubic metres of water (more than enough to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool) were rushing downstream every second towards a second dam on the river Canoas. “If this had happened during the rainy season, and the two reservoirs had been full, water would likely have… Explore the latest news, articles and features Global Lead Partner EN • EnglishDE • DeutschES • EspañolFR •

seemingly to the point of nauseam – another kayaker has reportedly broken the waterfall world record on Brazil’s Rio Sacre the creepy German guy on Youtube whose footage can’t be confirmed (or completely denied) and Paul Gamache Most of these cats have yet to file with Guinness And we’ve yet to confirm whether or not Olivia will one hell of a good boater and Pedro is one hell of a nice guy Our only question: Will the record eventually eclipse the 200-foot mark The following is from Jackson Kayak’s Ben Stookesberry whose team was on a mission to set the record in South America this winter: Brazilian kayaker and fellow Brazil World Record Attempt Expedition member Pedro Olivia shattered the existing world record (108 foot or 33 meter) with a 38 7 meter (127 foot) waterfall descent on a tributary to the Amazon on the Rio Sacre in Campos Novos His 2.9 seconds of pure freefall sent Pedro rocketing into the pool at right around 70 miles per hour in his Jackson Kayak Rocker Although people have certainly perished upon hitting a pool of water from such heights gushing rivers of Central Brazil to produce the softest water landings on earth This particular falls was nearly a football field in width with approximately 5,000 cfs of crystal clear 70 degree rain water spilling over the lip This meant that although Pedros boat went over vertical he and his boat were swept and kept intact into a deep mist filled pool Pedro resurfaced behind the falls were he was able to right himself with his hands on a conveniently located boulder bar and I guess that is why it is aptly named Salto Belo or Beautiful Falls.”

Sports | Apr 4 When Pedro Oliva got to the edge of the Rio Sacre in central Brazil and looked at the big falls there was no doubt in his heart that he would climb into his kayak and paddle over the edge ” all 127 feet of free-falling drop into the mist of the pool below He and a team of kayakers from the United States and Mexico had already run eight big waterfalls looking for one that would give them a world record for Ben Stookesberry’s latest extreme kayaking DVD Pedro’s mother had called to say she had a dream where she saw him safely do it excited,” the cinematographer and model from San Jose Dos Campos where he and Stookesberry recently appeared on the “Today” show Other side is ‘confianca.’ “ and Rafael Ortiz of Mexico City had flown into Brazil and met up with Oliva a paddling pal of Stookesberry’s since they met at the 2007 World Freestyle Kayaking Championships in Canada Stookesberry and his crew had recently made the second descent of the Indus River through the Rondu Gorge in northern Pakistan and gone on to run the Menas River through India They returned to Brazil to try to make a clean drop of the Anaconda a 100-foot waterfall that Stookesberry had run last year but not without being ejected from his boat making his descent unsuccessful in the unwritten rules of kayaking Kayakers don’t rely on Guinness World Records instead keeping their own list of world records on blogs and in periodicals Paul Gamache of Seattle held the top mark by running 108-foot Cascade Falls in British Columbia in 2008 Stookesberry wants to shift the focus on world-record waterfall runs from Canada where there is so much unexplored potential in the Amazon Basin “We were trying to push the sport beyond the spot where running tall waterfalls would result in some sort of fatality,” he said “The myth that the height you can run a waterfall in a kayak has already been reached ” to break that myth and push that particular end of the sport forward.” After remeasuring and running the Anaconda Stookesberry’s crew knew they needed something bigger where communities often post photos of local attractions and when they got there heard of two others ” the 127-foot Salto Belo and one even higher downstream on the same Rio Sacre after driving for hours through soybean fields with two local guides drove their light SUV with their kayaks on top onto a raft floated by wooden barrels and pulled it across the quarter-mile wide river by rope to the edge of the falls They tied a climbing rope to a bag filled with rocks and lowered it to the bottom then measured off 6-foot lengths as they pulled it up It was 21 lengths plus 1 foot ” about the height of a 12-story building “I was still pretty unconvinced I was going to make that descent,” said Stookesberry I didn’t see myself being able to maintain a vertical angle going in It was going to be 28 feet higher than anything else I had run in the past.” but didn’t like the way the water went straight down “I just thought we were going to look at a big beautiful waterfall,” he said and right away he said he wanted to run it Ben and I ” it’s a huge waterfall ” I think it was out of both our comfort ranges.” picking out the tongue of green water Oliva would follow to the lip and to the spot in the pool below that had plenty of air in the water vital to cushioning his 70-mph entry into the water without so much churn that the water would hold him down to drown “I stand close to the waterfall for 10 minutes,” Oliva said ‘What do you think?’ He say it’s a good idea for me to go Oliva memorized every ripple and current he would follow “Last year he looked at other drops that were world records as well,” Stookesberry said “He only made the decision to run this one because he felt it was the perfect time the coming together of a team he believed in the feeling everything was coming together at the same moment “Two days before he had talked to his mother She was content he would go over the waterfall and he would be all right There were so many things that came together upside down with the boat parallel to the surface of the water His paddle was sliced off by the boat deck Oliva figures he churned in the pool for 5 to 10 seconds then waited 10 more seconds for things to calm down he felt a rock bar on his side and used it to pull himself upright in the boat and was surprised to find himself behind a curtain of water Oliva said it was the strangest experience of his life “The sun was coming directly through the curtain,” Stookesberry said “For a couple of seconds he was confused and thought he was in heaven for a second He quickly realized he was behind the falls.” and when he got out of his boat and walked along the rocks He eventually walked out through the curtain of water to the shore of the pool where Korbulic and one of the guides were waiting to help him “He said that when he was thinking about what it would be like before he did it cheering his face off,” Stookesberry translated “But when it actually happened he was pretty calm “Other than a couple of fist pumps and a couple high-fives he was pretty calm about the whole thing.” Korbulic said he believes that Oliva stayed in his boat “I think he’s a genuine person and he’s not out to ” he wasn’t out to fool anybody,” he said Stookesberry figures if you can’t enter the water vertically so your spine will not be compressed by the shock Highly aerated water is a must to cushion the blow They are already planning to go back and look at the bigger falls downstream Hucking big waterfalls is not Stookesberry’s main focus He pores over Google Earth looking for remote rivers no one has run Next year he plans to run the Sang Po in Tibet going farther through the rocky gorge than the last expedition Though they get financial help from gear companies most of the money for these expeditions comes from their own sweat and savings does cement work for a construction crew in Mount Shasta worked construction at Lake Tahoe last summer and plans to go to nursing school The kayaking world is split over running falls with some excited over the “Wow!” factor and others wanting to avoid being labeled as another Mountain Dew extreme sport owner of kayak gear maker Immersion Research in Confluence which sends teams of kayakers to unexplored territory there is much more depth of interest in running a river in Pakistan that has never been run,” Weld said all you can say (about running a waterfall) is Which is just not that interesting.” “I don’t want to belittle it,” Weld

and Ben Stookesberry gather for a photo in March 2009 in front of Salto Belo falls on Rio Sacre Rescuers say that a South African man leading Stookesberry and Korbulic on a whitewater expedition in Central Africa was attacked by a crocodile and pulled from his kayak The body of Hendri Coetzee has not been recovered following the Tuesday morning attack on the Lukuga River JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- An acclaimed outdoorsman who wrote movingly about testing himself against nature is presumed dead after a crocodile snatched him from his kayak while he led an American expedition from the source of the White Nile into the heart of Congo Two Americans being guided by 35-year-old South African Hendrik Coetzee on the grueling trip could only watch in horror They paddled unharmed to safety after the Tuesday morning attack on the Lukuga River in Congo which runs development projects in the Central African nation helped evacuate the Americans to a nearby town the organization's regional director in Congo Coetzee's body has not been recovered The stretch of river where the trio was traveling is notoriously dangerous because of its whitewater and the high density of crocodiles and hippos that chronicled the trip sponsored by the Eddie Bauer clothing and outdoor equipment company Coetzee wrote about the thrill of taking to uncharted waters including stretches that might soon disappear due to planned dams He also described sometimes facing suspicion from military and other officials warm drops trashed at our little selves and a pair of goats we stood precariously on an unknown slope deep in the heart of Africa I would never live a better day," wrote Coetzee "He was the bravest guy I've ever known," Kruger said He was very calculated and set the bar high for future exploration in Africa." said they were vacationing in Costa Rica when they got an e-mail from their son saying he was safe "You just can't even think how terrible that is," Mary Korbulic said of the crocodile attack They had been following the expedition through blog postings and a tracking device activated every few days and were becoming concerned that there were no new postings when they got the e-mail from their son "All of us with loved ones engaged in extreme risk as a lifestyle and vocation live in dread of getting bad news but at the same time we are wildly proud of our sons for their courage and determination to be explorers in a time when most people think terrestrial and environmental exploration is over," they said in an e-mail but will miss his presence on earth and in the life of our son." The expedition was the latest in a string that Stooksberry and Korbulic have mounted exploring remote and dangerous rivers In recent years they have been in the Himalayas Coetzee wasn't just interested in the adrenaline rush "He also had a fantastic social conscience," he said explaining that Coetzee ran kayak trips for underprivileged kids in Sudan "He was one of those people that would look after others not only in a physical sense but also nurture them spiritually and mentally." from the White Nile and Congo rivers into Congo were documenting unexplored whitewater and development projects in the region The two Americans -- Ben Stookesberry and Chris Korbulic -- are currently in Congo but expect to return home to the U.S Coetzee had been living in Uganda at the time of the expedition One of the Americans recounted on his blog how Coetzee has warned them about the dangers of the trip including "three-ton hippos that will bite you in half." "Stay off the banks because the crocs are having a bake and might fancy you for lunch Any questions?" the blog quoted Coetzee as saying Deadly hippo and crocodile attacks on humans are not uncommon in Africa said parks authorities there are reluctant to give out numbers for fear of scaring away tourists "They are the predators of the water," Rodrigues said of the crocodiles Coetzee discussed the importance of trusting instincts and the group's only rule -- "nobody panic." In Coetzee's most recent entry dated Nov he wrote: "As I licked my dry lips and carefully checked that my spray deck was on properly I had the feeling I might be doing something I should not I pushed through the doubt and when I finally shot out the bottom of the rapid I was happy I did "Dwarfed by lush green mountains rising up to 3,000 feet above us we were drawn in ever deeper with a constant eye on the banks for trouble," he wrote Use of and/or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement, (updated 8/1/2024) and acknowledgement of our Privacy Policy, and Your Privacy Choices and Rights (updated 1/1/2025) © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.
