Dworshak Dam changed many times during its design. The original plans in 1948 described that it would be 370 feet tall. Later plans increased the height to 570 feet, then 630 feet.

Denver Water now plans to raise the Gross Dam even higher than the 1950s engineers had imagined, by another 131 ft to 471 ft. The $531-million project would nearly triple reservoir capacity to ...

KANPUR: The four-day short course on seismic design of concrete gravity dams, organised by the National Information Center for Earthquake Engineering (NICEE) at IIT-Kanpur, concluded on Friday.

But China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGC) has refuted the claims, saying all measurements of the dam’s displacement were in line with its design parameters, which require a degree of flexibility.

Researchers have used precariously-balanced rocks to set the formal design earthquake motions for a major existing engineered structure -- the Clyde Dam, the largest concrete dam in New Zealand.

Describing the project as his baby, Rogers said the original reconstruction plan to convert the gravity dam into an arch design, took four years of long days and short nights to complete. “No one has ...

Gravity Dam: Repair It! You've advised the resort owners to repair the dam. They're thrilled. In 1995, when a spillway gate failed in the Folsom Dam in California, engineers spent more than $100 ...

China’s Three Gorges Dam has the ability to survive nuclear attack, a hydropower expert has claimed following heated discussions about the safety of the nation’s nuclear projects and their ...

After nearly 100 years in operation, the 2,000-ft-long, 125-ft-high concrete gravity dam’s massive spillway gates showed signs of deterioration.

A national seminar on 'Seismic safety of concrete gravity dams' was organised in New Delhi on Friday. KANPUR: The National Information Centre of Earthquake Engineering (NICEE) at IIT-Kanpur ...
