Excerpt from The Design and Construction of Dams: Including Masonry, Earth, Rock-Fill, and Timber Structures and Principal Types of Movable Dams The great advantages to be derived from large storage reservoirs, built for regulating the flow of a river, for irrigation purposes, or for domestic water supply, have led within recent years to the construction of a large number of such works in various parts of the world. Where water having great depth is to be retained, it would be extremely hazardous to rely on earthen dams, as numerous failures of such works have been recorded, and walls of masonry are, therefore, employed. The successful completion of the Furens Dam (164 feet high) in 1866 was soon followed by that of many similar structures in France, Algiers, and Italy. In the United States a concrete dam (170 feet high) is being built near San Francisco; the Sodom Dam (70 feet high) has been commenced on the East Branch of the Croton River; and the Quaker Bridge Dam, which will surpass all existing dams in height, has been designed to form an immense storage reservoir for the city of New York. While the practical importance of the subject of masonry dams seems to be steadily growing, the engineer who may be entrusted with the design of such works will find the theoretical study of the best form of profile for a masonry dam very disheartening. How widely the types proposed by eminent engineers differ from each other is shown in our frontispiece. The theory of masonry dams is based upon a few simple principles and conditions; the mathematics, however, to which they give rise, when applied to the design of an economical profile, are rather appalling. Thus, if we follow the methods of the French engineers Sazilly and Delocre, we have to solve lengthy equations, some of them of the sixth degree. Moreover, there is always an uncertainty which equation is to be used, and the only way of determining this is by trial. If we wish to employ the method of Prof. Rankine, but change the data assumed by him, we have to make trials with the subtangent of a logarithmic curve. In contradistinction to these scientific methods, we find prominent engineers recommending trial calculations as the best practical solution of the problem. The writer, when detailed by the Chief Engineer of the New Croton Aqueduct to make calculations for the proposed Quaker Bridge Dam, the height of which is to be 270 feet, after studying the existing methods of designing profiles and finding them for various reasons inapplicable to the case in view, finally arrived at the equations given in this book. They are easy to solve, being, with the exception of one cubic equation, of the first or second degree. The theoretical section of the Quaker Bridge Dam was calculated by these equations.
