What is Understanding Arch Dams: Design and Factors about?

Arch dams are dams whose curved shape resists the pressure of the stored water. They require solid rock for their foundations and less concrete than other dams. Their curvature mainly transfers the pressure to the abutments. They are generally made of concrete and are suitable for narrow, rocky valleys.
