Abstract
Studies made on the upstream cofferdam of Castelo do Bode Dam (on the Zezere River in Portugal) are despribed. This dam is 34 m(111.55 ft) high. Stresses and displacements were measured on two models (plaster-diatomite and “alkathene”) and the stresses and displacements in the structure were measured during the filling of the reservoir. Computations using the “abridged trial-load method” are presented and it is shown that the values from the model tests agreed closely with those observed in the structure.
