LELIAVSKY ON THERMAL MOVEMENTS IN THE BUTTRESSES OF THE ASWAN DAM. 79 Paper No. 5581. Thermal Movements i the Buttresses of the Aswan n Dam." By SERGE LELIAVSKY BEY, PH.D., M.I.C.E. (Ordered by the Couracil to be published in abstract form.) t In an earlier Paper 1 the Author analysed the specific features of the temporary expansion joint which was introduced between the old and new masonry when the Aswan dam was first heightened, in 1908-1912. The principle of the device was due to the late Sir Benjamin Baker, PastPresident ; its intended objective was to protect the old dam against dangerous over-stressing which might have been caused by the cooling, contraction, and initial settlement of the additional masonry had the new and old works been firmly bonded together...

Informal talk' Aswan Higb Dam Introduced by Ibrahim Zaki Kenawi Director, Aswan High Dam Project Reported by A. D. M. Penman, MSc., A.M.I.C.E. Building Research Station D r Kenawi gave a brief history of irrigation in Egypt and said that the Aswan Dam, designed by Sir Benjamin Baker to impound 1 X log cu. m of water, and constructed by John Aird and Companyduring the period 1898-1902, was the first dam across the Nile. This masonry dam was raised, first in 1914, and again in 1932 to increase the capacity of its reservoir to 5 X 109cu...
