Book Description
Constructed between 1956 and 1966 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River was a project of immense proportions. Even before the non-stop pouring of 5 million yards of concrete began, much work had to be accomplished. The town of Page, Arizona was established on a windswept mesa to house workers and their families, and the 1,028-foot Glen Canyon Bridge was built to carry men, materials, and equipment to the dam site. Though the dam has proven a controversial structure throughout its history, the massive undertaking of its construction was an undeniable triumph of ingenuity and determination.

Book Description
Glen Canyon Dam, located on the Colorado River in northern Arizona, is a gravity-arch dam containing 5 million cubic yards of concrete. The concrete in the dam proper contains a pozzolanic material as a replacement for a portion of the cement. A preliminary pozzolan investigation, reported in Concrete Laboratory Report No. C-882, evaluated, for coupliance with requirements of Specifications No. DS-5053, pozzolans from 74 sources. Selected pozzolans from these sources that met all specifications requirements together with 12 additional pozzolans from different sources were subjected to tests in concrete. Preliminary laboratory concrete investigation, partially reported in Concrete Laboratory Report No. C-526A, was undertaken to evaluate the individual and/or combined effects of various pozzolans and a single lignin base retarding agent on selected properties, such as compressive strength, elastic properties, and length change, including autogeneous and drying shrinkage and expansion due to prolonged moist curing of Glen Canyon Dam concrete. Reported are the results of this investigation. (Author).
