THE AUSTIN DAM FAILURE AND ITS LESSONS
From Tho Engineering News. _
The terrible disaster which destroyed
the village of Austin, Pa., last Saturday
with a loss of 200 or more lives Is a shock
to the engineering profession hardly less
ipalllng than that experienced wh~
uebec bridge fell four years ago.
Ho far a* the newspaper reports have
informed the world, the structure waa de
signed and built under direction of a com-
ler dL .
potent engineer of, good reputation. The
structure falls suddenly
life, and the public jumps
elusion that no engineer Is
that no dam Is safe.
We wish, first of oil, to combat this
Idea. Most emphatically do we declare
that It Is within the resources of engineer
ing to so build such a dam aa that
Austin that it shall be safe and seen
It Is not our province to sift and app
tlon the responsibility for this said calam-
It Is our duty to say that the occur-
i is without excuse; And that if the
had been built with proper precau
tions and proper regard for safety the
id never have occurred. There

which competent engineers are not ca

billty.
But, it may be said, wby then do dams

We can answer this question in a word.
11 «aatere oodur beca
those who bullil the*
it as little engineer
as they posnlbly can.
They do not quite dare to go ahead with
an Important structure without some sort
of engineering advice; but they get along
with Just as little as possible; and too
often they reject so much of It as does
not suit their fancy or their purse.
Of course not all engineering work Is
carried on in this way. If It were, acci
dents and failures to engineering works
would be (ar more numeroua; but* we do
know that far too much of the work of
engineers is done under conditions,which
prevent them from really bearing {he re
sponsibility that Is nominally theirs.
It la farthest from our desire to say
anything at this time which may need
lessly add to the burden of those, who
ever they may be, on whom responsibil
ity for this dlsastsr may be placed and
who are without doubt already suffering
tortures untold. We should be derelict In
our duty, however, did we not point out
the salient facta In connection with tho
disaster, not for tho purpose of tocatiifk
the blame, but to indicate how similar
calamities may be avoided In the future.
The article which we reprint elsewhere
from our Issue of March 17, 1&10, describes
a calamity as has now occum
The earlier failure of the Austin dam,
by a most remarkable coincidence, oc
curred from almost the Identical cause
which destroyed the Colorado river dam
at Austin, Texas, on April 7, 1900. The
dam at Austin, Texan, was slid forward
on its base until It toppled over. The
dam at Austin, Pa., was slid forward to
gether with a stratum of the underlying
rock upon which It was founded. By
great good fortune the movement stopped
before the yielding dam section wan
crushed or overturned and emergency
measures were taken to draw off the
water from behind tho dam and relieve
the pressure upon It. No one seems to
have realised, however, that in that con
dition all assurances as to the safety of
the dam had wholly disappeared. The
pond above the dam was again filled with
water and the sole concern of those In
charge seeme to have been to stop tho
leaks, utterly oblivious to the fact that
this broken structure. Its bond with the

__ was bad to build a dam on such a
foundation, with no greater precautions
to prevent water getting under It; but it
was ten times worse to attempt to use
the structure in Its weakened and per
haps perilous condition after the partial
failure of January. 1910.
Who took the responsibility of deciding
to run this risk, the courts will doubtless
have to determine.
Mr. T. Chalkley Hatton, of WHmlngtqn.
Del., the engineer who made the original
designs for the dam. Informs us that in
February, 1910, after the failure above
noted, he submitted to the owners of the
dam plans and recommendations for its
city,
tlon, however, whether these recornmen
dattons were ever carried out or what.
If anything, -was done to ref>atr the dam
after his report In our Issue of March 17,
1910.
The plan of repair proposed by Mr.
Hatton was. we understand, first to stop
the flow underneath the dam by a deep
cut-off wall on the upper side of the
structure tied Into toe base of the dam.
and, second, to make a heavy rock-fill
against the downstream face of sufficient
section to hold the broken dam against
further sliding. If the company owning
the dam never Informed Mr. Hatton
whether It adopts these plans, It cer-
