1. Purpose. The purpose of this manual is to provide technical criteria and guidance for the planningand design of concrete gravity dams for civil works projects.
2. Applicability. This manual applies to all HQUSACE elements major subordinate mands districts laboratories and field operating activities having responsibilities for the design of civil worksprojects.
3. Discussion. This manual presents analysis and design guidance for concrete gravity dams. Conventional concrete and roller pacted concrete are both addressed. Curved gravity damsdesigned for arch action and other types of concrete gravity dams are not covered in this manual. Forstructures consisting of a section of concrete gravity dam within an embankment dam the concrete section will be designed in accordance with this manual.
