The sand used for the concrete in the Hoover Dam primarily came from local sources, specifically from the nearby Colorado River and surrounding areas. Large quantities of sand and gravel were transported to the construction site to create the dam's concrete mix. This local sourcing helped reduce transportation costs and ensured that the materials were readily available during the massive construction project.
The Hoover dam weighs 6,600,000 tons. It took 3,250,000 cubic yards of concrete to build the dam itself
Hoover Dam contains 3,333,459.2 cubic meters of concrete.
It is a manmade concrete structure.
The largest concrete dam in the United States is Grand Coulee Dam and it contains approximately 12 million cubic yards of concrete. This is about twice the amount of concrete in Hoover Dam.

concrete and only contrete
about 6600000 tons of concrete!! natal
Can't happen. Beavers work with mud and branches, the Hoover dam is reinforced concrete. Mud and branches makes for a much weaker building material than reinforced concrete. It's impossible to build something to the proportions of the Hoover dam out of mud and branches, it'd collapse under its own weight, or be washed away by the water pressure long before it got anywhere near Hoover dam size.
There are six of them on the Colorado river. Glenn Canyon dam, Hoover dam, Davis dam, Parker dam, Palo Verde diversion dam and Imperial dam.
A nickname for the Hoover Dam is Boulder Dam.
Enough to lay a four foot wide sidewalk around the earth.
Three and one-quarter million cubic yards. There are 4,360,000 cubic yards of concrete in the dam
