	Dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A diversionary dam is a structure designed to divert all or a portion of the flow of a river from its natural course.
		Oroville Dam is an example of an earth dam, and is the tallest dam in the United States.
		A steel dam is a type of dam briefly experimented with in around the turn of the 19th-20th century which uses steel plating (at an angle) and load bearing beams as the structure.

		Rock-fill dams are embankments of loose rock with either a watertight upstream face of concrete slabs or timber or a watertight core.
		Earth dams, also called earthen and earth-fill dams, are constructed as a simple homogeneous embankment of well-compacted earth, sometimes with a watertight concrete or clay core or upstream face, or sometimes with a hydraulic fill to produce a watertight core.
		A type of temporary earth dam occasionally used in high latitudes is the frozen-core dam, in which a coolant is circulated through pipes inside the dam to maintain a watertight region of permafrost within it.

	Dam
		A dam (a common Teutonic word, compare to Dutch dam, Swedish and German damm, and the Gothic verb faurdammjan, to block up) is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or retards the flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundment.
		A type of temporary earth dam occasionally used in high lattitudes is the frozen-core dam, in which a coolant is circulated through pipes inside the dam to maintain a watertight region of permafrost within it.
		In a constant-angle dam, this subtended angle is kept a constant and the variation in distance between the abutments at various levels is are taken care of by varying the radii.

		One of the first dams built was the Dujiangyan dam on the Minjiang River (Sichuan) or Min River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, in what is now the province of Sichuan.
		The dam will not overturn provided that the moment (physics) around the turning point, caused by the water pressure is smaller than the moment caused by the weight of the dam.
		If the upstream face is vertical the entire weight of the dam must be carried to the foundation by gravity, while the distribution of the normal Fluid pressure#Hydrostatic pressure between vertical cantilever and arch action will depend upon the stiffness of the dam in a vertical and horizontal direction.

	Diversion dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This Dam slows a normally fast and shallow river for partial diversion to a hydroelectric dam.
		A diversion dam is a type of dam that diverts all or a portion of the flow of a river from its natural course.
		Instead, the water is diverted into an artificial water course or canal, which may be used for irrigation or return to the river after passing through hydroelectric generators, flow into a different river or be itself dammed forming a reservoir.

		Most dams have a section called a spillway, over which or through which it is intended that water will flow either intermittently or continuously.
		Timber dams used to be more numerous, but most have been replaced with concrete, especially those in industrialized countries.
