Gibson Dam

Constructed in 1926, Gibson Dam holds the distinction of being the first American dam designed using trial-load method (a method which relies on mathematical equations to determine the stresses and strains acting on a dam). The structure is nearly 200 feet tall and 960 feet long at the crest, comprised of more than 167,000 cubic yards of concrete. Two 72-inch diameter semisteel-lined conduits through the base of the dam can output up to 3,050 feet of water per second.
