Additional information

Editor’s Note. Along with a traditional estimation of the shear strength of the contact of concrete gravity dams with rock foundations, a number of authors in recent years have investigated the possibility of using other mathematical models. Among such works is the article by I. A. Baslavskii devoted to the application of the theory of brittle fracture to solving the indicated problem which is published below for purposes of discussion. Although many matters examined in the article are disputable, the editor considers it useful to inform the engineering community about current investigations of one of the complex problems of hydraulic engineering and rock mechanics.
