Hydraulic Fill Dam Construction - Historical Data
Hydraulic Fill Dam Construction - Historical Data
(OP)
I am currently working on a hydrualic fill structure built in the late 1930's. I have exhausted the resources available to me. If you have any references to hydraulic fill dam construction, material properties, ect., please let me know. Data prior to 1930 would be a plus as no data is available for the 'rules of thumb' or design guides used by the engineers to construct the dam.

That website DMcGrath cites is a lot of fun to look at. There is also a pretty good novel about the construction period: "Bucking the Sun" by Ivan Doig.
