Experimental Deformation of a Cylindrical Arched Dam
Some experimental confirmation of the formulas given in the writer's paper on “Arched Dams” seemed to be desirable. With this object in view, a cylinder of India rubber was prepared having removable wooden false bottoms. One of these false bottoms was made conical in form, so that when the cylinder was bound to it, the flare would correspond to zero bending moment at the base; this therefore would represent the case of the base simply supported. The other false bottom was made cylindrical so that when the India rubber cylinder was bound to it, the sides at the base would be vertical, corresponding to the practical case of the base encastrée.
