| Description | The Teton Dam project is briefly described and the events at failure reported. The failure results from the use of the (arid) Idaho loess for the core, the properties of the loess being described. It is suggested that the failure lies in the original design, during which the loess was incorrectly classified, since it had a plasticity index of 3 and thus was unsuitable as a material for a dam core.
