Category:Embankment dams
English: Embankment dams — a type of dam created by the emplacement and compaction of a mound of various compositions of soil, sand, clay, and/or rock.
- The two primary types are: rock-filled dams, and earth-filled dams.
- Embankment dams rely on their weight to hold back the force of a reservoir's water, similar to gravity dams built of concrete.
Español: Presas de materiales sueltos.
