Dam

Dam

Four usual sections: gravity, arch, embankment, and buttress. The toggle is the difference. None of them is a site design.

Turn the form

A gravity dam resists the water with its own weight. The section is a mass of concrete, thick at the base. A narrow canyon is not required.

A dam teaching section. Toggle gravity, arch, embankment, and buttress. Do not size a spillway or a foundation.

Use this on its own, or on a real site

This copies the Dam teaching spec. Illustrative numbers stay illustrative. A standalone example has no site. Associating it with Orbit names the tiles and, when the point has an address, only that place's code card.

Standalone example. Scene: teaching-plan. No site tiles, and no local code.
