Stability of Straight Concrete Gravity Dams
The necessity for abandoning the middle-third theory and the sliding factor as useful elements in masonry dam design is demonstrated in this paper. The writer develops the fact that the safety of straight masonry dams is principally due to shear, and he investigates the effect of loading on shearing strength. A résumé is given of available data on uplift pressure and estimates of effective uplift area and of uplift force are presented. Stability of dams of ideal triangular cross-section is studied and a shear safety factor is proposed for use in dam design.
