  • Geology of Reservoir and Dam Sites, with a Report on the Owyhee
    CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HYDROLOGY OF THE UNITED STATES, 1928 . C. GROVER, Chief Hydraulic Engineer GEOLOGY OF RESERVOIR AND DAM SITES By KIRK BRTAN" ENGINEERING GEOLOGY All engineering structures constitute a load on the earth's crust. If this crust were everywhere of the same character and strength the design of such structures could be much simplified, but the hetero­ geneity of the materials of the earth's crust and the complexity of their arrangement are notorious, and these geologic conditions enter into most engineering problems. Certain structures, such as bridge piers, dams, tunnels, and heavy buildings, require both for design and construction unusually precise knowledge of the strength, attitude, and water-bearing character of the local rocks. Other structures, such as channel-training works on rivers or coast-protec­ tion and harbor works, being intended to guide or restrain natural forces, require an equally precise knowledge of the geologic changes that constantly take place on the earth's surface. Moreover, un­ usual earth movements and the resulting tremors or earthquakes often endanger the works of man, and in certain localities should be amply guarded against in the design of engineering structures. It has been well said that the task of thet engineer is " to over­ come by art the difficulties of Nature." Much of his effort is used in the contest with space, time, and weather or in the ingenious har­ nessing of sources of power, but in the great construction enterprises already named he contends also with the materials of the earth and the forces that operate on them and thus must solve problems within the field of geology.

  • CONCRETE DAM EVOLUTION the Bureau of Reclamation’S Contributions Gregg A
    Reclamation Centennial History Symposium, 2002 September 21, 2002 CONCRETE DAM EVOLUTION The Bureau of Reclamation’s Contributions Gregg A. Scott1, P.E., Technical Specialist, Structural Analysis and Geotechnical Groups Larry K. Nuss 1, P.E., Technical Specialist, Structural Analysis Group John LaBoon1, P.E., Manager, Waterways and Concrete Dams Group I. Introduction Over the last 100 years the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has made significant engineering contributions to the advancement and evolution of concrete dam analysis, design, and construction. The beginning of Reclamation’s long history of world renowned concrete dams began shortly after the turn of the 20th century with the construction of landmark masonry dams. Arch, gravity, and buttress dam design evolved through the 1920's. In the 1930's with the design and construction of Hoover Dam, significant strides were made in design, analysis, and construction. Strides were also made in concrete materials, temperature control, and construction techniques. Concrete technology improved to solve the problems of alkali-aggregate reaction and freeze-thaw damage following Hoover Dam. In addition to Hoover Dam, some of the largest concrete dams in the world were constructed by Reclamation during the 1940's and 1950's. Following the failure of Malpasset Dam (France) in the late 1950's, it became fully recognized that foundation conditions were critical to the stability of concrete dams. Reclamation made significant contributions in the areas of rock mechanics and dam foundation design in the 1960's and later. In the 1970's significant attention was paid to the earthquake response of concrete dams, and Reclamation was among the first to apply the finite element method to these types of analyses.

A riparian zone is an area that supports vegetation requiring more moisture than the adjacent uplands. In arid and semiarid regions, riparian areas exist in the narrow strip of land along the borders of creeks, rivers, or other bodies of water where surface water influences the surrounding vegetation.3,8,10,16 Riparian ecosystems exist between the uplands where there is seldom standing water and the stream, river, or lake where free flowing or standing water is common. Riparian zones have nearly unlimited variations in hydrology, soil, and vegetation types. There are different interactions between the topography, soil, geology, elevation, XI:1 Lower Owyhee Watershed Assessment Riparian hydrology, vegetative cover, evapotranspiration, animal use, and alterations by people. Consequently riparian zones vary considerably and may be difficult to delineate.3,8,11,15,16 Because of the proximity of riparian zones to water, the plant species are considerably different from those of the drier surrounding areas (Figure 11.1).
