Rockfill Dams: Design Of Cougar Central Core Dam

Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1958
The design of a rockfill embankment for Cougar Dam involved a choice between a central-core and a sloping-core section. The initial decision was for a sloping-core section but this was later reversed and a central-core section was adopted. The principal factor in making the final decision was the uncertainty as to the amount of water load settlement ...

Rockfill Dams: Brownlee Sloping Core Dam

Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1958
This paper describes the design and construction of the rockfill dam portion of Brownlee Hydroelectric Project. Of unusual interest are: diversion of flood waters over the partially completed embankment; inclusion of large quantities of compacted small rock material in the dam; and construction of the embankment on 110 feet of river-deposited materials.

Rockfill Dams: Performance of Mud Mountain Dam

Journal of the Power Division, 1958
Mud Mountain Dam, White River, Washington, an earth and rock fill structure 400 feet high, has settled in the core zone almost exactly as predicted during design studies which were based on large scale consolidation tests. Differential settlement between core and shell zones caused cracking at the crest parallel to the axis of the dam with rock shells ...
