Permeability, pore pressure and uplift in gravity dams
Low permeability of concrete, even with as little as two bags of cement per cu yd, indicates that equilibrium pore pressure should never develop in service dam; effect of air entrainment; approximate solution for percentage area subject to uplift pressure; expansive strains due to saturation and pore pressure; strains tend to increase compressive stress near upstream face and improve safety of dam.
