That is a nice topic but why not change your thesis topic to something that you have references available? If you go for embankment dams, James Sherrard book is a good reference.

Have you checked with either The Army Corps of Engineers or TVA publications yet?

Bureau of Reclamation, bor.gov has a lot of information. I am sure there are some references to what you are after.
