AB - CONCRETE IN WATER WORKS CONSTRUCTIONl By A. C. IRWIN Concrete has been used very extensively in various parts of water supply works such as dams, reservoirs, pipe lines, tanks, standpipes, filters, settling basins, power houses, etc. Obviously, a detailed discussion of all these is beyond the limits of a single paper and it will be necessary to confine the discussion to very general terms in order to take up even a few of these items. Reservoir linings. For slope wall reservoirs the inclination of the banks is usually from I!: 1 to 2: 1. The thickness of the concrete lining for the slope is from 4 to 8 inches and is usually placed in slabs from 10 to 20 feet square, depending on whether or not the slabs are reinforced.
