Abstract
In the paper entitled "Una formula para el caloulo de los diques de escollera" (A Formula for the Calculation of Rock Fill Dikes) published July 1938* there was presented the expression, P=NA^3d/((cosa- sina)^3(d-1)^3) where P = weight of the individual stones or blocks in kilograms N = 15 for dikes of natural rook fill N = 19 for dikes of artificial block fill A = 2h = total height of the wave that breaks on the dike,measured in meters d = specific weight of material of the stones in tons (metric) per oubic meter a = angle of the dike's side slope with the horizontal
