Answer 1

Masonry dams are dams made out of masonry – mainly stone and brick, sometimes joined with mortar. They are either the gravity or the arch-gravity type. The largest masonry dam in the World is Nagarjunasagar Dam in India.

A dam whose main structural elements are made from masonry materials, without binders. In the practices of modern hydroengineering construction, a distinction is made between rock-filled (filled), semifilled, and dry-set stonework. Masonry dams are usually built as fixed dams, with passage of the water through spillways on the banks or, less frequently, in the body of the dam.
