Cracks In The Lining (Canal lining and construction) Item Info

Columbia Basin Project, Irrigation Division, East Low Canal, Specification 1422, Utah Construction Co. and Winston Bros., Contractors. Cracking of an experimental section of the 4 1/2 inch reinforced concrete canal lining which was placed without transverse grooves for approximately 1400 linear feet. These cracks, which vary in width from hairline to 1/4 inch, appear from 50 to 75 foot intervals and extend transversely across the canal almost at exact right angles to the centerline. Note the fracturing of the concrete adjacent to the cracks. The lining was laid during the first week of June, the cracks were first laid during the latter part of July. H.E. Foss, photographer.
