This report studies the Concrete Dams market. The key raw materials for concrete dams are concrete itself and steel reinforcement. Design of a concrete dam depends on the purpose of the dam and the configuration of the site where it will be built. The concrete gravity dam has weight as its strength. A cross section of this dam looks like a triangle, and the wide base is about three-fourths of the height of the dam. Water in the reservoir upstream of the dam pushes horizontally against the dam, and the weight of the gravity dam pushes downward to counteract the water pressure. The concrete buttress dam also uses its weight to resist the water force. However, it is narrower and has buttresses at the base or toe of the dam on the downstream side. These buttresses may be narrow walls extending out from the face of the dam, much like the "flying buttresses" supporting cathedral walls or a single buttress rather like a short dam may be built along the width of the toe of the dam.
