Abstract
This is an account of the design and construction of the foundation structure for the Rodriguez Dam, on the Tijuana River, Baja California, Mexico. The dam is of the Ambursen type, and, as designed, has a greater height than any dam of that type heretofore built. The bed-rock in parts of the stream bed is of inferior quality, and, in some parts, disintegrated. A geologic fault about 20 ft. in width extends along the border of the stream bed.
