Abstract
Dealing in general with high dams on pervious glacial drift, the subject of this paper is based, to large extent, on Hardy Dam, on the Muskegon River, in Michigan. It is also based on the generalities of design and construction developed for such foundation by thirty years' experience with many similar structures of constantly increasing head and magnitude. This dam, which creates a 100-ft head, was placed in operation at full head on April 30, 1931. It is composed essentially of a porous sand embankment, 120 ft high, with a central flexible concrete core-wall.
