Analysis of Arch Dams of Variable Thickness
The advantage that can frequently be gained by increasing the thickness of arch dams toward the abutments in order to allow for the larger moments has made it desirable to find a workable expression for such thickening. This expression must be sufficiently flexible to permit any degree of thickening and, in addition, should be adaptable to mathematical analysis. These criteria were found to be satisfied by the law of variation of thickness that was made the basis for the formulas and curves presented in this paper.
