The Architect and Engineer of California and the Pacific Coast States, Vol. 27 (Classic Reprint): November, 1911-January, 1912 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Discover a 1910s concrete gravity dam and its practical engineering feats. This overview highlights how engineers planned, built, and tested East Park Dam to control water, store reservoir capacity, and manage flood flows. Learn about design choices, construction challenges, and the cost figures that guided this early large-scale project.
The article explains the dam’s location in a folded Coastal Range area, the choice of a gravity dam with an upstream curvature, and the spillway layout. It covers material sources, mixing, and the careful testing that showed how the structure performed under full reservoir pressure. Readers also gain insight into the budgeting, logistics, and measurement practices used during construction.
What you’ll experience
- A clear description of the dam’s geometry, outlets, and spillway system
- Practical details on concrete proportions, mixing, and placement methods
- A look at cost breakdowns, deliveries, and engineering administration
- A sense of how early 20th-century engineers documented performance and safety
Ideal for readers of historical engineering, architecture, and infrastructure projects of the American West.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is part of an ongoing conversation about the nature of art and its relationship to life. The author posits that true art beautifully expresses characteristics of an artist and the race, which, in turn, become part of enduring history. Accordingly, the book focuses on examples from architecture, such as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Parthenon, and Gothic cathedrals. The book discusses the relationship between race Spirit and individual expression, delving into ideas of personality, temperament, and individuality. Through examples of great works that demonstrate these ideas, the author concludes that the most sincere enduring art reflects the deeper nature of the race and the higher instincts of humanity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
