The project scope as currently written talks about topics but not buildings or structures. This is a tough constraint to put on Civil Engineers. In fact, the current categorization has a number of categories that structures. The Electrical engineering project has a good scope statement: 766:

An arch-gravity dam or arched dam is a dam with the characteristics of both an arch dam and a gravity dam. It is a dam that curves upstream in a narrowing curve that directs most of the water pressure against the canyon rock walls, providing the force to compress the dam. It combines the strengths of

article on flood control has been tagged since March 2019 as needing attention from an expert in civil engineering, but I'm not sure this was called out on the civil engineering Wikiproject pages. Inviting your attention to it now. It may just be a matter of verifying the unsourced material already

The design of an arch-gravity dam is an amalgam of the arch dam and gravity dam designs. It is a dam that curves upstream in a narrowing curve that directs most of the water pressure against the canyon rock walls, providing the force to compress the dam. This maximizes the strength of the dam while

I think this particular route may count as a pass, as from either side it is the uppermost section of a long ascent to a high mountain crossing (it would be different if it was a lower-level tunnel under a mountain range). Tunnelled or partially covered sections are common on high mountain routes,

I am new to the CE project although I have been writing on Knowledge (XXG) for over a decade about Civil Engineering. I saw that the project has been inactive for some time and want to work with others on reviving it. I started looking around for best practices in organizing and found the

of the arch & gravity dam designs. Meaning that it combines the best qualities of both and eliminates the disadvantages. Calling it a compromise suggests that it still gives up some good qualities and keeps some of the bad. I could edit it as

There was a separate article at one time. A merge was proposed and rejected in 2010, then apparently proposed again in 2013 although I can't find the discussion, and it was finally merged in 2016.

I don't know the reference, but the horizontal curved slice really does translate the compression-force of the water along the shape of the curve, which would buckle any other shape.

However, curving a gravity dam may make it look stronger, but some of this effect may be psychological factors in operation in making a choice of dam style.
