Buttress shear is charged with primary responsibility for disastrous failure of dam in Upper Italy; concrete of buttresses appears to have been of such poor quality as to be incapable of resisting stresses; failure of base is stated to be not primary cause of disaster; dam, which was 250 m. long, was completed in Oct. 1923 and failure occurred on Dec. 1. See also article by Rothmund in Bauingenieur (vol. 5, no. 3, Feb. 15, 1924, pp. 59-63, 3 figs.), giving opinion of an Italian engineer on causes of disaster. (see also - nos. 6 Feb. 9 1924, pp. 63-67)
