Manicouagan 5, highest multiple-arch dam in world, is similar but 3 times as high and almost 4 times as long as Grandval Dam in France; 14 arches supported by 15 buttresses will form 4275-ft-long structure; 703-ft central arch spans 530 ft between buttress axes, while other 13 have only 230-ft spans; quality concrete, concreting operations, river diversion and temporary spillway are described.
