Self-supporting arch spans 150-foot canal
Self-supporting pipe arch of 2 16-in. lines was erected in 12 hr; 2 sections of 150 ft span were shop-fabricated, hauled to site where foundations anchored in bed rock had previously been poured; twin base plates at lower end of each section were fitted over circles of anchor bolts, and then, with each section tangentially loaded to simulate final compressive loads of structure, tie-in was made; materials, fabrication and testing of arch.
