Master the design methods for gravity and high masonry dams, now including uplift and ice thrust for real-world safety and reliability.
Charles E. Morrison’s Masonry Dam Design: Including High Masonry Dams explains the proven approach engineers use to determine economical dam cross-sections. It builds on earlier work but updates the method to account for factors that affect stability in large structures, such as water uplift and ice thrust at the reservoir surface. The book aims to balance practical calculations with the latest practice, making complex theory accessible to both professionals and students.
Inside you’ll find a clear path from the basic ideas to finished design formulas, plus discussion of the latest investigations into stress variation within masonry dams. The content covers the development of design equations, conditions for stability, and how to apply the methods to real dam projects, including high masonry and arch types. Appendices and worked examples help readers apply the concepts with confidence.
Ideal for practicing engineers and students of dam design seeking a thorough, testable approach to masonry dam stability.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive and practical guide to designing gravity-type high masonry dams, focusing on calculations to determine an economical and stable cross-section. The author provides formulas for design and investigation, addressing factors such as water pressure, ice thrust, and uplift. The book also covers the determination of the point of application of the resultant force, the assumed distribution of pressure in a masonry joint, and the action of forces in and upon the structure. The author's approach is to expand on existing methods, such as the Wegmann method, and to incorporate recent considerations like uplift and ice thrust into the design process. This book is a valuable resource for practicing engineers and students alike, offering a systematic and up-to-date treatment of the subject.
