Abstract
This paper is submitted for the purpose of calling the attention of engineers to the necessity of giving serious consideration to the action of frost when designing dams for use in cold climates. The writers believe deterioration from frost action will occur in any thin concrete structure subjected to water pressure and extreme cold unless the concrete can be made 100% water-proof (or water-tight).
The results of frost action, therefore, have been pointed out in this paper, together with the expensive repairs necessary to safeguard the structure, and it is hoped the discussion will develop some positive and permanent method of water-proofing concrete.
