DESIGN OF SMALL DAMS (SECOND EDITION) U.S. Department of the Iníerior Smalí dams are properly considered to be associated with small streams and drainage areas of limited exíent. This book presents instructions, standards and procedures for use in the design of smalí dams. It is intended to serve primarily as a guide to safe practices for those concerned with the design of small dams on public work programs. The book will serve this purpose in three ways: * It will provide engineers with information and data necessary for the proper design of small dams. * It will provide specializeő and highly technical knowledge concerning the design of small dams in a form that can be used readily by engineers who do not specialjze in this field. & It will simplify design procedures for small earthfill dams. Simplified design methods are given to avoid complex procedures and special investigations required for large dams or for unusual conditions. Adequate but not unduly conservative factors for...

Simplified design methods are given to avoid complex procedures and special investigations required for large dams or for unusual conditions. Adequate but not unduly conservative factors for safety are used in the simplified design methods. The first edition of this book was Warmly received and, in the intervening years since then, it has been widely used all over the civilized world; reprinted nümejous times and translated into many languages. Since publication of its first edition, a large body of new literature has'become available to dam designers, and many new design procedures have been changed to reflect more modern techniques. These new materials and changes have been incorporated in this edition to benefit those individuals and agencies concerned with small dams. 'it' V Rs. 69.00 Vissza
