Forming job carried out during construction of DeCordova concrete dam in Texas is described; 2320 ft long dam is Ambursen type structure; high ratio of forming and reinforcing steel to concrete was required; pours for slab-and-buttress dam were small and were made with standard panels, bridge pier forms, and tailor-made forming; forms for sloping face and apron slabs are supported by scaffold-type panel shoring; bottom forms are timber; counterforms of steel panels are added as concrete rises.
