Assignments-Design of Dam Appurtenant Structures-2022

The document outlines 6 questions for an individual assignment on the design of dam appurtenant structures. Students are asked to submit individual reports with AutoCAD drawings, Excel sheets, and references. They will also make a presentation after submitting their reports. The questions cover topics like determining spillway crest geometry and discharge curves, calculating water surface profiles in a stepped spillway, designing a chute channel and energy dissipater, analyzing flow through a siphon spillway, calculating water thrust on a flap gate, and a reading assignment on dam outlet works.

Individual Assignment on Design of Dam appurtenant Structures.

You are requested to develop individual report for the following questions. The repot should
include standard drawings with the help of AutoCAD (do not submit with word drawings) and
references. Developed excel sheet for the assignment should be included. Do not forget, you
will make a presentation after submission.

1. Determine the geometry of the spillway crest and the discharge rating curve for an ungated overflow
spillway. A bridge over the spillway will be supported on piers 1.8 m thick, with a maximum span
width of 12 m between the centerline of piers. The reservoir and flood data are as follows:
 Maximum flood discharge = 2800 m3/sec
 Maximum flood pool elevation =110 m
 Maximum normal pool elevation= 100 m
 Approach channel invert elevation = 80 m
 Downstream channel elevation = 20 m
 Maximum flood tail water elevation = 40 m
 Assume that the overflow crest becomes tangent to a spillway chute that is slopes at 1H: 1V.
2. A 50 m long side channel spillway will have a maximum discharge of 200 cumec with 1.5 m
overflow depth. The channel cross-section is trapezoidal with a bed width of 12 m and side slopes
of 2V:1H. The depth of flow at the end of the spillway will be 5 m (with a suitable control in the
downstream). The velocity of flow is to vary linearly as the distance from the beginning of the
spillway. Calculate the water surface profile in a step-by-step manner for every distance of 10 m
(first group) and 20 m, 20 m and 10 m intervals (second group) from upstream to downstream.
Assume any data if missed. Note from the given data, the reservoir water level =107.66 masl and
the Spillway crest level = 106.16 masl.
3. Design the chute channel of the spillway up to the energy dissipater for the given data. Use Excel
spreadsheet for the computation. Indicate where the first aerator for the system should be located.
Bottom elevation at 0 = 1930.24 masl; Slope of the bottom channel from 0 to 200 = 1.5%; Slope of
the bottom channel from 200 to 400 = 25%; Design discharge, Qd = 1,100 m3/s and channel bottom
width is 50 m. Assume any data if missed.
4. A siphon spillway of constant rectangular cross section 4 m wide by 2.5 m high has configuration
as shown in Figure below. The total length of the siphon is 80m. Various loss coefficients are, Inlet
= 0.12; Outlet = 1.0; б (bend loss coefficient) = 0.75 and Friction factor = 0.018. Determine (a) the
maximum discharge, (b) whether cavitation would occur for that discharge, and if so, the safe
discharge for avoiding cavitation, and (c) the required constriction of the outlet section to restrict
that discharge.
5. Flap gate with radial skin Plate: Determine the magnitude and direction of the maximum water
thrust on the flap gate of the figure shown below with a 12 m span and a skin plate radius of 6m.

6. Reading assignment- The design and analysis of Megech Dam outlet works.
