Laminated Arch Dams with Forked Abutments
This paper describes some modifications of arch dam form and layout, as compared with usual current practice, which are believed to promote both simplicity of design and economy. Simplicity of design is achieved by the use of structural proportions that avoid the complexities of the “thick arch”, and economy, fortunately, follows in consequence. That the controlling principles hereafter noted, and the ends to be sought, are now recognized in some quarters, is evidenced by several recent dam designs, but it is believed that this conception may advantageously be carried further than it was in these instances. The purpose of this paper is to present the orderly development and application of certain basic principles, carried to their logical conclusion.
