How will you construct the dam given that water will be continuously flowing on the river. You are required to grout the base of the dam and pour the concrete dam on top. How will you then achieve this objective, how will you prevent the flowing water from affecting your construction activity without the use of a tunnel because it will be too expensive. The dam is quite small only 3m high and 10m long. The stream flow is also small as can be seen on the picturearrow_forwardWhat are the international standards for design and construction of structures in Civil Engineering?
