An examination of the present methods of determining stresses in multiplearch dams leads to the conclusion that these are too approximate and show compression at places where a considerable tension actually exists. Such methods, therefore, could not be used with safety in the design of multiplearch dams of considerably greater height than those already built. The usual method of determining the point of application of the water pressure and the centroid of the arch is shown to be incorrect, and correct analytical and graphical methods are given.
