Abstract
None of the varied types of foundation conditions of large dams presents more difficult problems than those of dams on uncemented shale or siltstone, and perhaps in no other branch of Engineering Geology is there more need of additional research. The principal purpose of this paper is to describe some of these problems, using Conchas Dam as an example, to explain how they were investigated and met in this particular instance, and to outline the research necessary to solve similar problems more adequately in the future.
