Practical dam analysis
"This book presents simple approximate methods of analysing embankment, gravity and arch dams for design studies, preliminary designs, estimates of quantities, checking computational methods, and teaching. Emphasis is placed on understanding the mechanical behaviour of the dam rather than the computational details."--BOOK JACKET
