Assignment

1. Design an ogee spillway with the following data.

Height of spillway crest above river bed = 100m
Design discharge 12000m3/s
Number of spans 6
Clear distance between piers 15m
Thickness of pier 3m
Slope of downstream face of the overflow section 0.8:1
Assume any other data if required
2. Hydraulic design of ogee spillway and bucket type energy dissipator
Design an ogee spillway with the following data.
Height of spillway crest above river bed = 100m
Design discharge 15000m3/s
Number of spans 5
Clear distance between piers 12.5m
Thickness of pier 3m
Slope of downstream face of the overflow section 0.8:1
Rock condition is good
3. Figure below shows the section of a gravity dam (non-overflow portion) built of concrete.
Calculate the maximum vertical stress at the heal and toe of the dam. Assume weight of
concrete as 23.5KN/m3. Neglect earthquake effects.
4. Determine the minimum slope in the upper reach of a chute section of 30 m width. The
range of discharge is 150 to 2000 m3/sec. n = 0.015
5. A constant angle arch dam (θ=133o 34’) is designed to span a vertical-walled canyon
150m wide. The height of the dam is 78m including 3m of freeboard. If the dam has 4m
thickness at the crest and has a symmetrical cross section that increases its thickness to
11.8m at the base, determine the masonry stress in the dam, using the cylinder method
(constant radius) for approximate analysis at: 1. the crest, 2. the midheight, 3. the dam
base, 4. if the allowable stress is 6MPa, what is the F.S?
6. An arch dam with 100m height and top width 5m. At the levels 0,25,50,75, and 100m the
radius are 95, 80m 63, 58, and 50m respectively. If the maximum tension stress is 300 t /
m² and elasticity Module is 2 × 106 t / m², determine the thickness and deflection
displacement of the dam at these levels?
7. Theprofile of the major monolith of a buttress dam is illustrated in Fig. The stability of
the dam is to be reviewed in relation to updated design criteria. Normal load combination
(NLC). Water load (to design flood level (DFL)) + self-weigh t+ uplift (no pressure relief
drains). Static stability: Overturning, FO˃1.5; sliding (shear friction factor), FSF˃2.4.
Concrete characteristics: core samples. Unit weight, γc=23kN/m 3 ; unit shear resistance,
c=500kN/m 2 ; angle of shearing resistance (internal friction), Φc=35°.
