One of the newest materials in the construction of water structures in recent years is the rubber material that is widely used in the construction of dams or short dams. In rubber dams, the remarkable flexibility of materials against external factors, compatible with the environment, simplicity of design, short time of building, safety and stability of these structures, such dams than rigid, simplicity and ease of use and ultimately reducing operating costs caused has been used in large and small water projects. Due to the limited information in the field of rubber dams, this article provides the possibility of rubber dams introducing, how to design, building and maintaining.

The presentation lays a framework for understanding the evolution of the Portage Escarpment in the Cleveland area. On Lake Erie's south shore, the Portage Escarpment is the terrain transition between North America's Appalachian Highland and Central Lowland provinces. Lake Erie and its lake plain lie in the lowland province. Cleveland's East Side Heights lies on the escarpment. Portage, Summit, and Medina counties lie in the highland province. Euclid Creek window Our window into escarpment evolution is the stream-cut bedrock sequence at the Quarry Picnic Area of the Euclid Creek Reservation in South Euclid, Ohio. The sequence features two of the escarpment's three sandstone formations: the Berea Sandstone and, below, the Euclid bluestone (Bedford Formation). Deep History To comprehend the relationship between natural and anthropogenic terrain evolutions, the 'deep history' perspective is introduced. Deep history views urban landscapes as the weave of natural and cultural forces. The deep history perspectives of Daniel Lord Smail, David Christian, Edward O. Wilson and the Eco-Modernists are introduced. Event Cycles The deep history perspective views landscape evolution as a series of two-phased cycles. In deposition phase, landscape is built up as natural sediment and/or anthropogenic transformation. In erosion phase, landscape is torn down with stream cutting and/or urban abandonment. Bedrock Deposition The Euclid bluestone and Berea Sandstone were deposited ~350 Ma in a shallow sea fronting the rising Appalachian Mountains to the east. The sandstones typify deposits in a fold belt foreland basin. An analog can be found in the Persian Gulf, in the foreland basin fronting the Zagros Mountains fold belt in Iran and Iraq. Glacial Retreat and Stream Formation In terms of natural process, the current Portage Escarpment landscape took shape as the last glacier retreated northward and meltwater cut deep ravines into the local bedrock sequence. By about 16 ka, small streams began flowing southward to the Chagrin and Cuyahoga Rivers. After 16 ka, newer small streams, including Euclid Creek began flowing northward from current Shaker Heights. Anthropogenic Landscapes As we see evidence for Portage Escarpment terrain evolution at Euclid Creek, the human transformations loom large. The area was extensively quarried during the nineteenth century. Moreover, as urban development has paved much of the Euclid Creek watershed, the stream is subject to flood events which can quickly change the local stream bed. Many historic Metroparks infrastructure components are highly eroded.

Long lines of cars, buses and trucks in low gear wind along the two-lane road down one steep side of Black Canyon and up the other. The lines stop frequently as carloads of tourists crane their necks at the grandeur of the site, and drivers search for a parking space among the tiers of overlooks. For all the conges? tion, few motorists seem impatient or interested in searching maps for alternate routes. Everyone driving in this vicinity must know that U.S. High? way 95, which arcs along the crest of the dam, is the only road across the Colorado River between Davis Dam, over 50 miles to the south, and Nava jo Bridge, over 150 miles to the east. Pedestrians move about the top of the dam at a snail's pace in the desert heat, crisscrossing the crest over which, by design, no water has ever flowed. Several thousand tourists may visit Hoover Dam on a summer day, most of them standing in long lines to board the large elevator that takes them, 20 at a time, 600 feet down into the inner workings of the dam. Many come from Las Vegas, 35 miles to the northwest. Even there, amid all the noise and neon, a visit to Hoover Dam is hawked as one of the area's must-do things. The pitch may be engineering achieve? ment as awesome entertainment, but few who visit the works at Black Canyon seem disappoint? ed by the decided calmness and harmony of it all. Just as the Mississippi River wreaked havoc in the Midwest last summer, so the Colorado River used to be alternately a blessing and a bane for the Southwest. Although the Colorado seemed a pot ...
