TL;DR: In this article, the effects of reservoir siltation on dam safety are analysed in terms of dam safety. But the authors focus on the cases of thin concrete structures and assume that the tested concrete strength could be less than twice the load, and the safety of the dam becomes questionable.

TL;DR: The causes of reservoir siltation are summarized and discussed in this paper, and the Australian experience is further compared with the extreme reservoir Siltation experienced in the UK by 15 silted reservoirs.

TL;DR: The history of the development of Portland cement has been well documented as discussed by the authors, including the introduction of Portland cements as an engineering material to the Australian market in 1824-1924.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed six railway dams and showed that the railway engineers had a broad-based education, and their expertise led to advanced dam designs (e.g. 75-Miles dam, de Burgh dam, and Tallong dam).
