A complete reading of the Kellogg
report on the Nuuanu dam shows the
engineers conclusions that i'm several
respects the proposed dam is unsafe.
He calls for better and stronger con-
struction in several features, and also
refers to poor workmanship and use of
material which he does not regal as
satisfactory. At the outset he says
that while the plans are complete, the
specifications are not sufficiently de-
finite. AS to the outlet and washout
pipes, he says:
81 assume that the engineer expected
to provide, in the pipe itself, a water
tight conduit, and only depended on
the concrete armor to provide against
settlement and crushing from outside
pressure. Basing his conclusions as
to durability on the statistics that pipe
made of wood when kept away from
the air and full of water is practically
indestructible. Such a result would
be possible if instead of northwest
pine the best quality of redwood had
been used, and the pipe constructed in
a first-class manner.
THE specifications for pipe do not
mention the kind of lumber but under
the general head for lumber northwest
pine was mentioned and evidently was
made to apply in this case.
There are two objections to pine as
used i'm this instance: First, it does
not shrink or swell endwise, so that
there is not much chance of an open
joint closing. Second, while pine sub
merged under water or surrounded
with a wet plastic material that eX-
cludes the air, will last a lifetime, it
will readily decay when placed in a
gravel formation. This open concrete
armor would be a better air conductor
than gravel; hence, I DO NOT CON-
SLIDER THAT IT COULD BE SAFELY
DEPENDED ON, in a case of this
kind, where absolute permanence must
| be assured.
81 carefully examined the pipes on
the inside and found MANY OPEN
JOINTS; also find that instead of a
standard saddle coupling a small shoe
of angle iron was used with only about
| ~" bearing on the slaves, Taking
these features and EVIDENCES OF
POOR WORKMANSHIP into consid-
Grafton, do not consider its tightness
would be a certainty.
Sounding along the inside of the
! pipe disclosed MANY HOLLOW
PLACES underneath, some of then
six or seven feet in length. At the
point where l made the cut under the
pipe near the upper toe of the dam,
found there was a space from q inch &c
e inch between the pipe and the con-
crete along the lower a Of the section
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-08-18

these conditions show that this concrete
armor can IN NO SENSE BE CON-
SIDERED A WATER-TIGHT CON-
DUIT The proportions of the con-
crete were one cement, three of sand
and five Of gravel; the proper proper
tons for concrete of this thickness
put in with expanded metal would be
about one cement, two sand and three
gravel. If the wooden pipe had been
considered in the sense of a form and
the concrete made thick enough to
form a proper conduct, it would have
proved a good construction"
The location of the valve tower is
criticized and Kellogg proceeds with
criticisms as follows:
In a country situated as this is, with
a heavy rainfall, with heavy deposits
of drift material upon the permanent
bed of the valley, there will neces-
sarily be a considerable amount of
ground water uniformly seeking an
outlet throughout the cross section Of
the valley. In such cases the move
ment will of necessity be through the
most porous material, varying along
the lines of least resistance, toward
the thread of the valley. The surface
conditions at the dam site show a
large seepage towards the side draws;
notably the draw above the dam on
the Eva side, where I had cut made
into what is called an old spring, and
the large draw on the Waikiki side,
Immediately below the dam. Here
seepage appears for a considerable dis
lance along the edge Of the hill near
the bottom of the draw.

pose in compacting the puddle during

But across the central section of
the dam now under consideration, 1
think a BETTER AND STRONGER
CONSTRUCTION IS DEMANDED.
The present construction with two

NOT STRONG ENOUGH. 80"
after a careful consideration of the
existing conditions l have concluded
that the most economical plan to secure
a safe permanent conduit Is TO
TAKE OUT THE WORK NOW CON-
STRUCTED, up to and including the
valve tower and reconstruct them
about on the same line as the present
efhuent pipe, one directly under the
other as shown I'm the accompanying
cross-section.

tic formation. The investigation of
these conditions shows a continuous
underlying strata Of ground water at
an average elevation of 962 feet.
There is also some water passing
through the porous formation in the
bed of the stream over the hard rock
Therefore, I DO NOT CONSIDER IT
WOULD BE SAFE TO CONSTRUCT
A DAM ON THE PROPOSED PLAN.
The approximation from the ground
water, after being cut off by the core
wall, would accumulate in the outer
slope and render it unsafe Such a
saturation established within the outer
slope would be a serious element of
danger
The pudding trench and core wall at
either end of the dam, passing through
the porous rock and volcanic sand to a
connection with the plastic formation
underneath, will cut off the seepage,
but it will be forced to a lower section
Of the dam and a drainage should be
provided through the outer slope to
secure stability.
This 1 do not consider could be OBJ
terial at hand. The plastic material,
while having the necessary specific
gravity, is too close to admit of free
drainage. The other materials at hand
are a composition of rock i'm a state
of decay and volcanic cinders, a large
per cent. of which is soluble i'm water
and in a state of saturation would not
form sufficient bond to stay in place.
From holes 1 had drilled near the
upper toe Of the dam, / find there is a
conglomerate mass of earth and rock
about sixteen feet in thickness, over
lying a starta of hard earth and rock
Of varying thickness, over the strata
of hard rock which was found at the
foot of the core wall on center line of
dam. OWING TO THE FACT THAT
THIS is MORE OR LESS OPEN
AND POROUS, 1 deem it advisable to
put in a cutoff wall, as shown on the
plans. This could be made out of sheet
piling, but more satisfactory plan,
which would cost very little more,
would be to DIG A TRENCH ABOUT
FIVE FEET IN WIDTH DOWN TO
SOLID FORMATION, AND PUT IN
/ A SHEETING OF PLANK ON THE
DIAKAI SIDE, TOWARDS THE DAM
