multiple-arch dam

At the time, this was the longest multiple-arch dam in the world.

The structure is the world's largest multiple-arch dam.

Even more unusual, the concrete arches were elliptical rather than circular, the only multiple-arch dam ever built this way.

It is Oklahoma's first hydroelectric power plant and is referred to as the longest multiple-arch dam in the world.

Also, the company's investors were doubtful of the safety of Eastwood's multiple-arch dam proposal and wanted to change to primarily gravity dams.

Arch dams with more than one contiguous arch or plane are described as multiple-arch dams.

At 308.5 feet (94 m) tall, the multiple-arch dam is lacking in hydroelectric generating capabilities, unlike most dams on the Salt River.

The multiple-arch dam does not require as many buttresses as the hollow gravity type, but requires good rock foundation because the buttress loads are heavy.

Structures of interest in Ōnohara include Honenike Dam, a multiple-arch dam completed in 1930.

Lake Hodges Dam is a multiple-arch dam that sits on the San Dieguito River.

During this time Eastwood pioneered the design of the multiple-arch dam; he would later become renowned for the building of this type of dam across the West.

The multiple-arch dam consists of a number of single-arch dams with concrete buttresses as the supporting abutments, as for example the Daniel-Johnson Dam, Québec, Canada.

Florence Lake Dam is a concrete multiple-arch dam on the South Fork of the San Joaquin River, in Fresno County, California in the United States.

Eastwood envisaged the use of multiple-arch dams in the construction of the Big Creek project, but these hopes were dashed when, in November 1910, he was dismissed from all association with the project.

The Gleno Dam was a multiple-arch dam on the Gleno River in the Valle di Scalve in the northern Province of Bergamo, Italy.

John Samuel Eastwood (1857, Minnesota - 1924, California) was an American engineer who built the world's first reinforced concrete multiple-arch dam on bedrock foundation at Hume Lake, California, in 1908.

Shortly thereafter, Eastwood received the contract for the design of a multiple-arch dam to supersede the 1884 Big Bear Valley Arch Dam near San Bernardino in Southern California.
