	USGS Atlas HA-613: Kelly Barnes Dam Flood of November 6, 1977, near Toccoa, Georgia
		Between the dam and Toccoa Falls, the average low-water channel width of Toccoa Creek is 40 feet.
		Kelly Barnes Dam and Lake: Kelly Barnes Dam was about 400 feet long, 20 feet wide at the crest, and 40 feet high at the maximum section.
		The history of the dam as determined by the Federal Investigative Board (1977) is summarized as follows: The dam went through various stages of development, first as a rock crib dam and then with subsequent stages as an earth dam.

		A diversionary dam is a structure designed to divert all or a portion of the flow of a river from its natural course.
		In a constant-angle dam, also known as a variable radius dam, this subtended angle is kept a constant and the variation in distance between the abutments at various levels are taken care of by varying the radii.
		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.

		Dams are an important but the aging part of the national infrastructure and they provide tremendous benefits including flood control, water supply, hydroelectric power, navigation, irrigation and recreation.
		The devastating dam failures of the 1970s (Buffalo Creek-125 dead, Kelly Barnes-39 dead and Teton-11 dead and $1 billion in damages) are a reminder of the potential consequences of dam failures.
		Civil engineers are the principal designers of dams and are the professionals currently evaluating the safety of dams, designing repairs and modifications to dams, and modeling the consequences of dam failures.

	Kelly Barnes Dam - Biocrawler
		The Kelly Barnes Dam, located in Stephens County, Georgia, just outside of the city of Toccoa, was originally built as a rock crib dam in 1899 to create a reservoir for a small hydroelectric plant.
		The dam was raised a couple times eventually reaching 42 feet (nearly 13 meters) above the rock foundation.
		The dam was never rebuilt and the remaining waterfall is now a tourist attraction as well as a memorial area on the campus of Toccoa Falls College.

	Background for Dam Safety Legislation in Missouri - MoDNR
		The problem of unsafe dams in Missouri was underscored by dam failures at Lawrenceton in 1968, Washington County in 1975, Fredericktown in 1977, and a near failure in Franklin County in 1978.
		The Dam Safety Law is contained in Sections 236.400 through 236.500 of the revised statutes of Missouri.
		Technical assistance and the review of plans and specifications for new dams by the Department of Natural Resources is extremely valuable to the owners and those people living downstream of the dam that could be flooded in the event the dam should fail.

		State dam safety staffs are spread thin, and when failures occur, particularly in a wide spread area similar to the many failures that occurred along the east coast as a result of Hurricane Floyd, state engineers have little or no time to gather pertinent information with respect to the breach parameters and resultant damages.
		Kelly Barnes Dam Failure Toccoa Georgia A few of these dam failures have had good investigative follow-up where the size of the breach, initial conditions, and the resulting flood wave depths were measured.
		Dam failure warnings were also less likely where the drainage area was small or the reservoir had little or no flood storage space, i.e, when the reservoir was able to quickly fill and overtop the dam.

		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.

		The safety of an arch dam is dependent on the strength of the side wall abutments, hence not only should the arch be well seated on the side walls but also the character of the rock should be carefully inspected.Two types of single-arch dams are in use, namely the constant-angle and the constant-radius dam.
		The appearance is similar to a single-arch dam but with a distinct vertical curvature to it as well lending it the vague appearance of a concave lens as viewed from downstream.The multiple-arch dam consists of a number of single-arch dams with concrete buttresses as the supporting abutments.
		When trapped by a dam, the sediment is held in the reservoir and settles to the bottom while clear water containing very little sediment is released down the river.Over time, the easily erodible material from the riverbed is carried away with no sediment being deposited to replace it.

		The failure of several dams in this country (Buffalo Creek, West Virginia 1972; Teton dam, Idaho1976; Laural Run Dam and Sandy Run Dam, Pennsylvania 1977; and Kelly Barnes Dam, Georgia 1977), as well as many others, has led our nation to take a strong look at dam safety.
		One aspect of dam safety is to answer the question, “What will happen if the dam were to fail?” The ability to evaluate the results of a dam failure has been added into the HEC-RAS software.
		Dams are modeled within HEC-RAS by using the Inline Structure editor.
