Abstract
This paper represents the results of a study of the action of water under dams, and was undertaken by the writer in connection with his graduate work at the University of Michigan. The attempt is made to investigate the relation existing between the height of water on the face of a dam, the length of the base of a dam measured perpendicular to the face, the distribution and upward pressure on the base of the structure, and the effect of sheet-piling placed at the heel and at the toe of the dam.Keywords
