Abstract/Additional Information
The Stewart Mountain Dam is a 212 ft. high multicurvature thin-arch dam completed in 1930. It has experienced alkali-silica reactions within the concrete and exhibited no bond across horizontal construction lift surfaces. The dam could be subjected to upgraded maximum credible earthquake or probable maximum flood loadings. Alkali-silica reactions and expansions have caused visible surface cracking.
