Synopsis

Excerpt from An Investigation of the Relative Stability of Vertical Back and Battered Back Dam Sections: A Thesis

These considerations suggest the adaption of a new section viz., one in which the head of water itself is used to lend additional stability, by taking advantage of its vertical component on a battered back.
