Uplift Pressures in Concrete Dams
Measurements of uplift pressures in concrete dams constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) of the United States Department of the Interior have been made continuously since 1926. The justification for providing methods for, and making; such measurements and the keeping of complete r ecords are discussed. A description of the installation and lo cation of equipment for observing foundation uplift is given. The frequency of the readings, the over-all results obtained, and the limitations of the procedure are portrayed. A case history is included for Hoover Dam in Arizona-Nevada. A brief recounting is given of the small a mount of exoerimental work done to determine the uplift within the concrete. The methods, together with examples, of relieving excessive foundation uplift pressures are cited. Finally, a short recital is made of the uplift assumptions used in the design of concrete dams.
