When a canyon site seems best adapted to a gravity type of dam there is some question as to the desirability of arching it in an up-stream direction. The writer advocates the straight gravity dam for certain sites as, for example, the St. Francis Dam, and presents further arguments to support his theory that in some situations a dam curved down stream may be preferred to the other two types.
