Methods used in construction of gravity concrete dam, 200 ft. high and 3015 ft. long, on Saguenay river, about 80 mi. above its mouth at St. Lawrence; prospecting for materials at 30 deg. below, under 4 ft. of snow; how materials were sampled, chosen, transported, heated and proportioned; how concrete was mixed, conveyed, deposited, protected; use of large aggregate with big gap in sizes to prevent raveling in stock piles and bins, harshness and segregation after mixing; stiff mix placed with vibrators. (see also discussion in no. 8, June 1930, pp. 875-886)
