Ferrocement is a fine structure for a dam. Cement is stronger within 1/4" of a support. We would be wise to make a finer cubelike mesh system inside our cement structures to give them greater strength.
Dam overtop is a major cause of collapse. Shifting weather patterns may affect dams. Broad areas parallel to the top of the dam may reduce strain on the dam in the event of overtop. This might erode the areas to the left or right of a dam, but if they are reinforced to a degree they would be effective and prevent much potential dam destruction.
