How Do Dams Hold Back Billions of Tons of Water?

How can a massive concrete dam hold back billions of tons of water without collapsing? The answer isn't simply “strong concrete.” Engineers use the dam's enormous weight, carefully designed shape, deep foundation and spillways to control the incredible pressure created by the reservoir. In this JOKIVO episode, we go inside the engineering that allows these massive structures to hold back some of the most powerful forces on Earth.
