Excerpt from Hydro-Electric Power, Vol. 1: Hydraulic Development and Equipment

Where a divergence of views exists among engineers, the only wise procedure is to follow safe, current practice, and this fact has guided the preparation of certain portions of this work. However, the Author has been compelled to take issue with a few conclusions which are, generally, accepted by the engineering profession, as in the theory of uplift pressure under solid dams.

Certain of the methods of treatment are new. In every case, a consistent adherence to the physics of the problem has been maintained, and in practically every instance, the physical phenomena are apparent in the equations and mathematical discussions. Seldom have abstract mathematics been employed and only under stress of absolute necessity.

A number of new and original formula appear for the first time, here. Among these may be mentioned the exact formula for solid dams, and for the magnitude and location of the result ants of forces acting on dams.
