One of the most notable agencies of the New Deal era, the Tennessee Valley Authority was created with a warrant to plan for the socioeconomic improvement of "forgotten" Americans. The construction of the Norris Dam, it was thought, would benefit the region socially as well as economically. This book analyzes and assesses TVA's social experiment in modernization at the grassroots level, using population removal in the Norris Basin as a test case.

This report constitutes a detailed account of the more important results of the programs of testing and observations upon the structural behavior of Norris and Hiwassee Dams. These programs were initiated during the construction period for the purpose of guiding operations, and continued after the respective dams were placed in service. The study after construction was aimed at securing knowledge of conditions that might influence the life period and the economy and safety of the structures. The information obtained at Norris was of considerable value in the design and construction of Hiwassee Dam and similar benefits were realized at Fontana Dam from the investigations at Hiwassee.
