Multiple-Arch Dams on Rush Creek, California
This paper describes the design and construction of two multiple-arch dams built during the summers of 1915 and 1916. The determination of span length is first discussed, followed by general rules for the selection of the angle subtended by the individual arches. It is pointed out how the arch slope affects the load distribution on the arches, and the stability of the buttresses. Stress diagrams for the arches and buttresses are given, most of the calculations being graphical.
