History

Arch-gravity dam

Arch dam

Gravity dam

  • a combination of arch and gravity dam

  • the normal component are taken by the arch action

  • a narrow canyon with steep side walls
  • the water presses laterally on the dam

  • the water pressure on the dam acts in a line

  • the dam would be held in place by gravity

  • "solid" or "hollow"
  • a gravity dam combined with a arch dam

  • the inward compression reduces the lateral force

  • gravitation force is lessened
