Boulder dam model tests extend arch dam research
In Colorado's engineering lab a four model arch dam in Stevenson Creek Canyon near Fresno tests the behavior of arch structures under working loads. Mercury acts as water to create pressure while precise gauges measure tiny movements as researchers compare model results with full size dams to improve design for food control irrigation and power.
