The Gongboxia Dam is a concrete face rock-fill embankment dam on the Yellow River in Longhua County, Qinghai Province, China. The dam supports a 1,500 MW hydroelectric power station. Construction on the dam began in July 2000 by diverting the river and by August 15 the next year, the river was diverted and excavation began on the foundation.

Data on volume of structure is not as easily available or reliable as data on dam height and reservoir volume. Type: TE - Earth; ER - Rock-fill; PG - Concrete gravity; CFRD - Concrete face rock fill; AG - Arch-gravity.
The Xingó Dam is a concrete face rock-fill dam on the São Francisco River on the border of Alagoas and Sergipe, near Piranhas, Brazil. The dam was built for navigation, water supply and hydroelectric power generation as it supports a 3,162 megawatts (4,240,000 hp) power station. It was constructed between 1987 and 1994 and the last of its ...
The dam contains more than 1.2 million cubic yards of concrete and is 6,432 feet long including its two earth embankments. Table Rock Lake has the least amount of storage, so it typically fills first.
A concrete-face rock-fill dam (CFRD) is a rock-fill dam with concrete slabs on its upstream face. This design provides the concrete slab as an impervious wall to prevent leakage and also a structure without concern for uplift pressure. In addition, the CFRD design is flexible for topography, faster to construct and less costly than earth-fill dams.
The Shuibuya Dam is a 233 m (764 ft) tall and 660 m (2,170 ft) long concrete-face rock-fill embankment dam on the Qingjiang River. The dam's maximum height above sea level is 409 m (1,342 ft). It is made of 15,640,000 m 3 (20,460,000 cu yd) of material.
