Solution of arch-dam analysis is offered with a view to avoiding defect of ordinary cylinder theory. Defects claimed for latter are that, by it, arch thrust is maximum at base of dam, and that it vanishes at crest. Two cases are dealt with: (1) Complete cylindrical dam or tank of uniform thickness throughout, and (2) complete cylindrical dam or tank of uniformly varying thickness from crest to base.
