Author notes that with increase of size of many structures and in particular of dams, where greatest forces coupled with action of water on foundation material are present, it became apparent that considerable attention must be focused on rock on which such structures are built; jointing, anisotropy, initial stress, and percolation of water through pores and fissures of rock, and deterioration are discussed in general; procedures are explained for ultimate load and working stress analyses, with references to various dams in examples. Based on paper before Instn Civ Engrs, Nov 1964.
