Mushroomed buttress heads form deck of Mexican irrigation dam
Heads of 5-ft thick buttress walls, mushroomed to width of 29 1/2 ft, replace usual flat slab decks in 187-ft high, Las Virgenes dam; calculations, checked by photoelastic tests, resulted in design without stress concentrations or tensile stresses; use of low heat cement and method of concreting buttress walls to prevent cracking eliminates steel reinforcement.
