Add pictures/sections as needed --> “Unlike a concrete gravity dam which carries the entire load by its self weight, an arch dam obtains its stability by both the self weight and, to a great extent, by transmitting the imposed loads by arch action into the valley walls. The geometry of the dam site is, therefore, the most basic consideration in the selection of an arch dam. As a general rule,..."

Add pictures/sections as needed --> Nearly every dam experiences seepage to varying degrees. Depending on the type of dam and its unique site conditions, seepage may go through, underneath, or around the dam. When left unchecked, excessive seepage can lead to problems such as internal erosion and eventual failure of either the dam itself or other vital components of the dam. According to the As..."
