Te primary line of defense is a well-emplerer joint system. Modern dam design uses contraction joints to divide thee structure into monolith, with waterstops, sealants, and shear keys that permit thermal movement while maintaing watertightness. For massive gravy dams, joint spacing typically ranges from 15 t o 20 meters, determinad by the expecreated temrature range ande the concrete 's coefficient of termal expansion (COE).
