General characteristic of " liviano" dam is that upstream face has slope of 45° more or less, so that hydrostatic pressure contributes to stability and permits reduction in dimensions of buttresses; "aligerado" type retains characteristics of massive gravity dams and is similar to internal vane type of dam recommended by Luigi FIGARI as early as 1900; examples of each type illustrated and discussed.
