That’s a huge mass of concrete. I wonder how many buried bodies there would have to be to make that structure 1% weaker than if it were 100% concrete.
I used to live in Las Vegas and have driven over that dam many times and taken the tour once or twice.
It is a truly impressive piece of engineering and construction.
First time I saw it years ago wondered why it wasn’t designated as one of the wonders of the world. Everytime I have seen it since I thank God for the people that existed during that time. If this were a project that needed to be built under today’s standards, it would never happen.
