Review of Soils Design, Construction and Prototype Observations-Texarkana Dam, Texas
Texarkana Dam, a flood-control project, is a rolled-earth fill structure about 18,500 ft in length with an average height of 75 ft in the valley section. The dam contains 7,380,000 cu yd of fill and includes an outlet structure with two controlled discharge conduits and a 200-ft-wide, uncontrolled, concrete, chute-type spillway. Borings and laboratory tests of foundation materials were made to provide design data. Record samples of the embankment were obtained during construction and hydrostatic pressures, seepage, and settlement measured since construction.
