Download or read book The History of Large Federal Dams written by U.s. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of federal involvement in dam construction goes back at least to the 1820s, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built wing dams to improve navigation on the Ohio River. The work expanded after the Civil War, when Congress authorized the Corps to build storage dams on the upper Mississippi River and regulatory dams to aid navigation on the Ohio River. In 1902, when Congress established the Bureau of Reclamation (then called the “Reclamation Service”), the role of the federal government increased dramatically. Subsequently, large Bureau of Reclamation dams dotted the Western landscape. Together, Reclamation and the Corps have built the vast majority of major federal dams in the United States. These dams serve a wide variety of purposes. Historically, Bureau of Reclamation dams primarily served water storage and delivery requirements, while U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams supported navigation and flood control. For both agencies, hydropower production had become an important secondary function. This history explores the story of federal contributions to dam planning, design, and construction by carefully selecting those dams and river systems that seem particularly critical to the story. Written by three distinguished historians, the history will interest engineers, historians, cultural resource planners, water resource planners and others interested in the challenges facing dam builders. At the same time, the history also addresses some of the negative environmental consequences of dam-building, a series of problems that today both Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seek to resolve.

Book excerpt: Fort Loudon Dam was the last of seven main-river dams proposed for construction in TVA's report to Congress dated March 31, 1936, and is the upper link in the chain of dams for navigation envisioned in the TVA Act. A record of the more important facts concerning planning, design, construction, cost, and initial operations of this major unit in the integrated water-control system is contained herein as Technical Report No. 11. It has been prepared from detailed reports in the files of TVA and has been edited to present special coverage to new or unprecedented procedures with relatively less emphasis on standard practices of engineering and construction.

Download or read book Recent Advances in Dam Engineering written by B.N. Asthana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses recent developments in dam engineering, covering theoretical as well as practical aspects. The chapters provide detailed descriptions of the types, surveys and investigations, layouts, design, thermal stresses and foundation of dams. The differences between various theories/methods of analysis used in design and their practical application and limitations are clarified. The book focuses on earth fills and landfills and stresses the importance of the foundation treatment. Failure of embankment dams is discussed particularly in the planning and construction stages of the dam. The environmental impact of dams is treated with references to river diversions and reservoir sedimentation. The book is written as a reference book for professional engineers and is also suitable for post graduate courses.
