Intze Principle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Intze Principle (German: IntzePrinzip) is the name given to two different engineering principles. Both are named after the hydraulic engineer, Otto Intze, (1843–1904). In the one case, the Intze Principle relates to a type of water tower; in the other, a type of dam.

Intze Principle for water towers A water tower built in accordance with the Intze Principle has a brick shaft on which the water tank sits. The base of the tank is fixed with a ring anchor (Ringanker) made of iron or steel, so that only vertical, not horizontal, forces are transmitted to the tower. Due to the lack of horizontal forces the tower shaft does not need to be quite as solidly built.[1] This type of design was used in Germany between 1885 and 1905.

The method of dam construction invented by Otto Intze was used in Germany at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. A dam built on the Intze Principle has the following features: it is a gravity dam with an almost triangular crosssection the wall is made of rubble stone with a high proportion of mortar it has a curved ground plan it has facing brickwork (Vorsatzmauerwerk or Verblendung)
Intze wedge
on the upper part of the upstream side it has an earth embankment against the lower part of the upstream side, the socalled Intze Wedge (IntzeKeil)[2] it has a cementsealed upstream face, coated with a layer of bitumen or tar it has internal vertical drainage using clay pipes behind the upstream face
