Constant-Radius Arch Dam

(C) Thomas, Henry H. The Engineering of Large Dams


The simplest form of arch dam with a vertical cylindrical upstream face and a uniformly
inclined downstream face. Used in wide valleys with the possibility of slip forming
construction methods.

Double curvature - Cupola Dam

(C) Thomas, Henry H. The Engineering of Large Dams


Vertical curvature introduced so that the weight of the dam will offset vertical tensions
due to water load. Cupola dams are ideal for narrow valleys and are similar to the thin
arch dams in regard to foundation requirements.
