The earth-filled dam is constructed of rock with a central clay core, which prevents water from passing through the dam.

By May 1960 an earth-filled dam, rising 49 metres above the original river level, was placed and consolidated.

The lake has the area of around 10 square kilometers, and the earth-filled dam is 39 meters high and 310 meters long.

It has an earth-filled dam with an impervious core.

Also constructions in soil can fail due to shear; e.g., the weight of an earth-filled dam may cause the subsoil to collapse, like a small landslide.

The zoned earth-filled dam is 186 feet high with a gross storage of 0.242 MAF and a command area of 47,000 acres.

At 432 feet high, it was the highest rock- and earth-filled dam in the world at its completion.

Dix Dam, the dam that made the lake, was the largest earth-filled dam in the world at the time, and considered to be a major engineering feat.

The reservoir was created by the construction of an earth-filled dam across the Pawtuxet River near the former village of Kent.

Retaining structures include earth-filled dams and retaining walls.
