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.

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. ThlóR
