Synopsis

Master the design methods for gravity and high masonry dams, now including uplift and ice thrust for real-world safety and reliability.

Charles E. Morrison’s Masonry Dam Design: Including High Masonry Dams explains the proven approach engineers use to determine economical dam cross-sections. It builds on earlier work but updates the method to account for factors that affect stability in large structures, such as water uplift and ice thrust at the reservoir surface. The book aims to balance practical calculations with the latest practice, making complex theory accessible to both professionals and students.

Inside you’ll find a clear path from the basic ideas to finished design formulas, plus discussion of the latest investigations into stress variation within masonry dams. The content covers the development of design equations, conditions for stability, and how to apply the methods to real dam projects, including high masonry and arch types. Appendices and worked examples help readers apply the concepts with confidence.

• Detailed presentation of upward pressure and ice thrust and how they influence dam safety.


• Development and use of design formulae for masonry dams.


• Guidance on cross-sections, stress distribution, and factors of safety.


• Appendices and practical computations to aid real-world application.

Ideal for practicing engineers and students of dam design seeking a thorough, testable approach to masonry dam stability.
