A practical, site-based engineering study of a Bow River concrete dam design, with a case-focused look at how choices in foundation, spillway, and power arrangement affect construction and performance.

This edition frames the scope through real-world site conditions, calculations, and design decisions. It covers rock foundations, ice and temperature considerations, spillway and bulkhead layouts, and the practical steps of planning and building a concrete dam on a river. The material also touches on the integration of a proposed power plant, penstocks, and related structures, all rooted in the Bow River site context.

Understand how site data, rock strength, and water flow influence dam type choices and layout.
Explore the design process for spillways, bulkheads, and buttress walls, including sizing and reinforcement considerations.
See how concrete mix, placement, and joint details are specified for stability and durability.
Learn about project planning aspects, from cofferdams and foundation prep to construction sequencing and inspection.

Ideal for readers interested in applied dam design, civil engineering practice, and historical case studies of concrete dams.
