Abstract
A brief resume of the basic principles involved in the trial-load method of stress analysis is presented. The various types of analyses, and their advantages and limitations, are examined. The application of trial-load methods to design problems and practical examples resulting from these procedures are illustrated and described in detail. It is also shown that the use of the trial-load method of stress analysis makes possible economy not only in the design of arch dams, but also in the time and expense required to produce such designs.
