Structural models evaluate behavior of concrete dams
Plaste-celite 1:200 scale model was cast in Fiberglass molds to duplicate central portion of Oroville arch and buttress dam, Calif, for design considerations; live load tests were performed on dam, simulating uniformly increasing water pressure by series of rubber bags under stepped pneumatic pressure; control apparatus is described; this technique for testing is useful for controlling construction of overhanging portions of doubly curved dams.
