Lately, F. X. Browne, Inc. has been working on some Emergency Action Plans for various dams as well as some expert witness work for a failed dam. We thought we would share this classic dam failure sequence from the Teton Dam in Idaho in 1976 for your viewing education. It was compiled by Arthur G. Sylvester, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara. This is literally the "textbook" dam failure. Many engineering classes study this as an example of why we design some of the safety factors and devices into our facilities now.
