the step system of the old damn is not a good idea because it holds ice and snow...
which causes the concrete to hold water and crack as the ice expands and contract, its why it has not lasted all that long as compared to other dams around the world.

interesting, but do not take their advice on money.

I don't know why they don't use an arched bridge laid sidewards method, of solid blocks, with rubber seals and keyed joints, so you basically end up with the identical dam, but it's sort of flexible - in a earthquake prone area...

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: if they did that it would freeze and break... the rubber becoming very brittle very quickly... while in places that stay roughly the same temp. that would work pretty well...

@sbseed: Has anyone got rubbers that last for 300 years in between concrete? I have a friend, who is a professor of concrete... He knows a lot.... He teaches my ideas and I can't do his maths for shit...
