Few aspects of small dam construction wherein soil mechanics is useful; importance of foundation conditions or means for improving unsatisfactory conditions; foundations for earth dam should satisfy two independent conditions; hydraulic characteristics should be satisfactory, and it should have adequate strength to eliminate possibility of failure under weight of overlying fill or under influence of water pressure; outright failure of soil beneath embankment considered.
