篇篇学之2：The Gravity Dams

战火财神

There are three mainly types of dams: gravity dams,embankment dams and arch dams.(Considering these dams are ordinarily,we just take these for example.),Here we just describe the gravity dam.
NO1:Gravity dams
The gravity dam is a dam which sites the horizontal thrust of the water entirely by their own weight.Concrete gravity dams are typically used to block streams through narrow gorges.Because it is the weight holding the water back,Concrete gravity dams tend to use a large amount of concrete.so the cost of the gravity is expensive.
The gravity dam uses their weight to hold back the water in the reservior.It can be made of earth or rock fill or concrete.These dams can be very expensive because of how much material they use.The shape of the gravity dam resembles a triangle.This is because the triangular distribution of the water pressure.The deeper the water,the more horizontal pressure it exerts on the dam.So at the surface of the reservoir,the water is exerting no pressure and at the bottom of the reseroir,the water is exerting the maximum pressure.

这句确切点怎么译啊？

重力坝是指完全靠自身的重量抵挡水平方向水流的冲击的大坝。
