Analysis of arch dams by the trial load method
Method based on assumption that arch dam is composed of systems of horizontal arches and vertical cantilevers, that each system carries proportion of total load, and that deflections of two systems are equal; series of assumed proportional loads are applied to each system and deflections are computed; when proportionate loading is found that gives equal deflections at all points for both systems, stresses are computed and are considered to be those which will obtain in the dam. (See also - vol. 54, no. 1, Jan. 1928, pp. 61-95, 16 figs., and discussion vol. 54, no. 4, Apr. 1928, pp. 1311-1318, 1 fig.; no. 5, part 1, May 1928, pp. 1585-1603, 8 figs.)
