I seriously doubt you could hurt the Hoover dam at all by exploding even a large bomb on it. It would probably damage the road but the explosion would disperse into the air almost immediately.. You probably couldn't even damage it by flying a passenger plane into the front of it. as you said, it's MASSIVE and the concrete isn't the weak garbage you mix for post holes. Thye WTC didn't fall from the impact and it was hollow. It fell from the jet fuel burning for a long time in a fairly confined area.

I worked at a nuclear reactor for a time. The operators told me that the reactor building was so sturdily built that a passenger plane could hit it at full speed and the folks inside wouldn't even know it.
