Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a report of an investigation into the disastrous failure of the Austin Dam in 1900, and the subsequent reconstruction and failure of its replacement, completed in 1915. An analysis of the engineering mistakes that led to both dam failures is presented. The report details the faulty methods of financing, planning, construction and the resulting defects of both structures. The book places the Austin Dam failures within the historical context of the development of dam-building technology in the United States, and the increasing need to prioritize safety and best practices in construction projects. The author further examines the socio-economic implications of dam failures and their impact on public trust in large-scale infrastructure. By studying the Austin Dam failures, this book offers valuable lessons and insights for modern dam construction and engineering, making for required reading for anyone involved in the field.
