Classification of shales, mudstones, silty shales, siltstones, sandy shales, and sandy mudstones; behavior of muds compacted or cemented in geological stage; uncemented argillaceous strata are liable to elastic rebound and liable to be compressed and contract under weight of dam; gravity effects on slopes; hydrostatic uplift pressure at base of dam; examples of behavior in several dam constructions are given.
