Water flowing over a spillway acquires a lot of kinetic energy because of the conversio of the potential energy into kinetic energy.
If the water flowing with such a high velocity is discharged into the river it will scour the river bed.
If the scour is not properly controlled it may extend backward and may endanger the spillway and the dam.
FORCES ACTING ON GRAVITY DAM
The Bureau of Indian Standards code IS 6512-1984 “Criteria for design of solid gravity dams” recommends that a gravity dam should be designed for the most adverse load condition of the seven given type using the safety factors prescribed.
1. Load combination A (construction condition): Dam completed but no water in reservoir or tail water
2. Load combination B (normal operating conditions): Full reservoir elevation, normal dry weather tail water, normal uplift, ice and silt (if applicable)
3. Load combination C: (Flood discharge condition) - Reservoir at maximum flood pool elevation ,all gates open, tail water at flood elevation, normal uplift, and silt (if applicable)
4. Load combination D: Combination of A and earthquake
5. Load combination E: Combination B, with earthquake but no ice

Ice Pressure :
Ice pressure is exerted on a dam by a sheet of ice formed on the entire water surface of the reservoir, when it is subjected to expansion and contraction with changes in temperature.
The coefficient of thermal expansion of ice being five times more than that of concrete, the dam face has to resist the force due to expansion of ice. This force acts linearly along the length of the dam, at the reservoir level.

15 05-05 wind uplift - the next big lift - roof tech presentationJRS Engineering
All exterior building components need to be properly designed to withstand the forces of nature. However, many of the buildings being constructed today are not properly designed or the responsibility has been improperly designated to a contractor. This has resulted in many failures, both minor and major, of various building envelope components.
Wind Uplift: The Next Big Lift will focus on the aspects of designing roofing to properly withstand the forces of wind that act upon the building. We will go through the NBC design requirements and how they relate to the CSA A123.21 testing standard. We will discuss the pitfalls of using FM Global references in our specs and how it interacts with our codes. We will also discuss the shortfalls of our current building code and the direction of the next code edition.
Infinite and finite length of blanket
A natural impervious blanket of large areal extent if available may be considered as a balnket of infinite length
For a blanket of infinite length, the solution of equation (iv) is
In this case for the convenience, the point x = 0 is taken at the downstream end of the blanket and hence h0 is the total loss of head through the blanket upto the end of the blanket.
As a measure of the efficiency of a blanket of any length x (where x may be infinite or a finite length) a length Xr is considered which is known as equivalent resistance of the foundation and is defined below.
It may be defined as the length of a prism of the foundation soil of thickness Zf and coefficient of permeability kf which under the loss of head h would carry flow equivalent to the flow which passes the blanket system under the same loss of head. Thus
(2) Solution for finite length of blanket :
For a blanket of uniform thickness and finite length of blanket ihe solution equation (iv) is
which h is the loss of head through the blanket upto any point at a distance and hn is a constant for computing h. hn depends on the total head loss of the system of which the blanket is a part and on the ratio of the blanket to the remainder of system. *
From equation (viii) at x - 0, h = 0, and hence in this case the point x = 0 is taken at the upstream end of the blanket.
Differentiating both sides of equation (viii) with respect to x, we get

When the profile for the crest of the ogee spillway is plotted over the triangular profile the section of a gravity dam (non-overflow section) ,it is found that it goes beyond vie downstream face of the dam , thu requiring thickening of the section for the spillway .
However,this extra concrete can be saved by shifting the curve of the nappe in a backward direction until this curve becomes tangential to the downstream face of the dam .

ENERGY DISSIPATORS
stilling basin
A stilling basin is defined as a structure in which a hydraulic jump used for energy dissipation is confined either partly or entirely.
Certain auxiliary devices such as chute blocks, sills, baffle walls, etc. are usually provided in the stilling basins to reduce the length of the jump and thus to reduce the length and the cost of the stilling basin.
Moreover, these devices also improve the dissipation action of the basin and stabilize the jump.
Chute Blocks :
These are triangular blocks with their top surface horizontal. These are installed at the toe of the spillway just at upstream end of the stilling basin.
They act as a serrated device at the entrance to the stilling basin. They furrow the incoming jet and lift a portion of it ab0ve the floor.
These blocks stabilise the jump and thus improve its performance, these also decrease the length of the hydraulic jump.
Basin Blocks or Baffle Blocks or Baffle Piers :
These are installed on the stilling basin floor between chute blocks and the end sill. These blocks also stabilise the formation of the jump.
Moreover, they increase the turbulence and assist in the dissipation of energy.
They help in breaking the flow and dissipate energy mostly by impact. These baffle blocks are sometimes called friction blocks.
Sills and Dentated Sills :
Sill or more preferably dentated sill is generally provided at the end of the stilling basin.
The dentated sill diffuses the residual portion of the high velocity jet reaching the end of the basin. They, therefore, help in dissipating residual energy and to reduce the length of the jump or the basin.
particular location of these blocks mainly depends upon the initial Froude number (F1) and the velocityof the incoming flow. The stilling basins are usually rectangular in plan. These aremade up of concrete.

Infiltration rate
Infiltration capacity : The maximum rate at which, soil at a given time can absorb water.
f = fc when i ≥ fc
f = f 0when i < fc
where fc = infiltration capacity (cm/hr)
i = intensity of rainfall (cm/hr)
f = rate of infiltration (cm/hr)
Horton’s Formula:
This equation assumes an infinite water supply at the surface i.e., it assumes saturation conditions at the soil surface.
For measuring the infiltration capacity the following expression are used:
f(t) = fc + (f0 – fc) e–kt for
where k = decay constant ~ T-1
fc = final equilibrium infiltration capacity
f0 = initial infiltration capacity when t = 0
f(t) = infiltration capacity at any time t from start of the rainfall

Infiltration indices The average value of infiltration is called infiltration index.
Two types of infiltration indices
φ – index (PHI INDEX)
w –index

FORCES ACTING ON GRAVITY DAM
5. Wave Pressure :
Wind blowing over the water surface in the reservoir exerts a drag on the surface due to which ripples and waves are formed. The impact of these waves Produces a pressure on the upper portion of the dam. The magnitude of the wave pressure mainly depends on the dimensions of the waves which in turn depend on the extent of water surface and the wind velocity.
Silt pressure
The weight and the pressure of the submerged silt are to be considered in addition to weight and pressure of water. The weight of the silt acts vertically on the slope and pressure horizontally, in a similar fashion to the corresponding forces due to water. It is recommended that the submerged density of silt for calculating horizontal pressure may be taken as 1360 kg/m³. Equivalently, for calculating vertical force, the same may be taken as 1925 kg/m³.
Wind Pressure :
Wind pressure is required to be consider only on that portion of the dam structure which is exposed to the action of wind.
Normally wind pressure is taken as 1 to 1.5 kN/m2 for the area exposed to the wind pressure.
Wind pressure is not a significant force and therefore, sometimes, not considered in design of a dam.
Earthquake Forces (Seismic Forces) :
Earthquake or seismic activity is associated with complex oscillating patterns of acceleration and ground motions, which generate transient dynamic loads due to inertia of the dam and the retained body of water.
Horizontal and vertical accelerations are not equal, the former being of greater intensity.
The earthquake acceleration is usually designated as a fraction of the acceleration due to gravity and is expressed as α⋅g, where α is the Seismic Coefficient. The seismic coefficient depends on various factors, like the intensity of the earthquake, the part or zone of the country in which the structure is located, the elasticity of the material of the dam and its foundation, etc.
For the purpose of determining the value of the seismic coefficient which has to be adopted in the design of a dam, India has been divided into five seismic zones, depending upon the severity of the earthquakes which may occur in different places. A map showing these zones is given in the Bureau of Indian Standards code IS: 1893-2002 (Part-1) “Criteria for earthquake resistant design of Structures (fourth revision)”, and has been reproduced in Figure 28.
According to IS : 1893 - 2002, the design value of horizontal seismic coefficient
(Ah) may be determined by one of the two methods
(a) Seismic coefficient method
The total design lateral force or design seismic base shear (VB) along any principal direction shall be determined by the following expression.
Hydrodynamic Pressure :
Horizontal acceleration acting towards the reservoir causes a momentary increase ln the water pressure as the foundation and dam accelerate towards the reservoir and the water resists movement owing to its inertia.
The extra pressure ex

Sills and Dentated Sills :
Sill or more preferably dentated sill is generally provided at the end of the stilling basin.
The dentated sill diffuses the residual portion of the high velocity jet reaching the end of the basin. They, therefore, help in dissipating residual energy and to reduce the length of the jump or the basin.
particular location of these blocks mainly depends upon the initial Froude number (F1) and the velocityof the incoming flow. The stilling basins are usually rectangular in plan. These aremade up of concrete.

Dalton’s law of evaporation
The rate of evaporation depends upon the difference between the saturation vapour pressure in the air above
E= C(es-ea)
where c – coefficient depends upon barometric pressure
Es – saturation vapour pressure
Ea - Vapour pressure above 2 m height of water
Factors affecting

Infiltration rate
Infiltration capacity : The maximum rate at which, soil at a given time can absorb water.
f = fc when i ≥ fc
f = f 0when i < fc
where fc = infiltration capacity (cm/hr)
i = intensity of rainfall (cm/hr)
f = rate of infiltration (cm/hr)
Horton’s Formula:
This equation assumes an infinite water supply at the surface i.e., it assumes saturation conditions at the soil surface.
For measuring the infiltration capacity the following expression are used:
f(t) = fc + (f0 – fc) e–kt for
where k = decay constant ~ T-1
fc = final equilibrium infiltration capacity
f0 = initial infiltration capacity when t = 0
f(t) = infiltration capacity at any time t from start of the rainfall
td = duration of rainfall
Double Ring Infiltrometer
Infiltration indices The average value of infiltration is called infiltration index.
Two types of infiltration indices
φ – index (PHI INDEX)
w –index
PHI INDEX
- defined as average rate of rainfall such that excess volume of rainfall represents direct runoff
- unit is cm/hr or……
W INDEX
- average rate of loss (infiltration) averaged over whole storm period

FORCES ACTING ON GRAVITY DAM
5. Wave Pressure :
Wind blowing over the water surface in the reservoir exerts a drag on the surface due to which ripples and waves are formed. The impact of these waves Produces a pressure on the upper portion of the dam. The magnitude of the wave pressure mainly depends on the dimensions of the waves which in turn depend on the extent of water surface and the wind velocity.
Silt pressure
The weight and the pressure of the submerged silt are to be considered in addition to weight and pressure of water. The weight of the silt acts vertically on the slope and pressure horizontally, in a similar fashion to the corresponding forces due to water. It is recommended that the submerged density of silt for calculating horizontal pressure may be taken as 1360 kg/m³. Equivalently, for calculating vertical force, the same may be taken as 1925 kg/m³.
Wind Pressure :
Wind pressure is required to be consider only on that portion of the dam structure which is exposed to the action of wind.
Normally wind pressure is taken as 1 to 1.5 kN/m2 for the area exposed to the wind pressure.
Wind pressure is not a significant force and therefore, sometimes, not considered in design of a dam.
Earthquake Forces (Seismic Forces) :
Earthquake or seismic activity is associated with complex oscillating patterns of acceleration and ground motions, which generate transient dynamic loads due to inertia of the dam and the retained body of water.
Horizontal and vertical accelerations are not equal, the former being of greater intensity.
The earthquake acceleration is usually designated as a fraction of the acceleration due to gravity and is expressed as α⋅g, where α is the Seismic Coefficient. The seismic coefficient depends on various factors, like the intensity of the earthquake, the part or zone of the country in which the structure is located, the elasticity of the material of the dam and its foundation, etc.
For the purpose of determining the value of the seismic coefficient which has to be adopted in the design of a dam, India has been divided into five seismic zones, depending upon the severity of the earthquakes which may occur in different places. A map showing these zones is given in the Bureau of Indian Standards code IS: 1893-2002 (Part-1) “Criteria for earthquake resistant design of Structures (fourth revision)”, and has been reproduced in Figure 28.
According to IS : 1893 - 2002, the design value of horizontal seismic coefficient
(Ah) may be determined by one of the two methods
(a) Seismic coefficient method
The total design lateral force or design seismic base shear (VB) along any principal direction shall be determined by the following expression.
Hydrodynamic Pressure :
Horizontal acceleration acting towards the reservoir causes a momentary increase ln the water pressure as the foundation and dam accelerate towards the reservoir and the water resists movement owing to its inertia.
The extra pressure ex

Concrete Gravity Dam Components
A gallery is a small passage in a dam for providing an access to the interior of the dam.
The gallery is usually rectangular in shape with its top and bottom either flat or semi circular.
For a gallery with its top and bottom flat, it is necessary that all the corners should be rounded. The width of gallery generally varies from 1.5 to 1.8 m. The height of the gallery in between 2.2 to 2.4 m, so that a person can easily walk inside it.
To provide drainage of the dam section.
2. To provide space for equipment required for drilling holes and grouting the hole to form a grout curtain in the foundation.
3. To provide space for header and return pipes for post cooling of concrete.
4. A gallery provide an access to the interior of the dam for inspection ard maintenance.
5. A Gallery also provides space for installing various instruments in the dam to study its structural behaviour.
6. A gallery can provide space for the mechanical and electrical equipment required for the operation of gates for spillways and outlets.
A shaft is a vertical opening provided in a dam. Shafts are required for locating headers of the post cooling system and for locating measuring devices.
Shafts are also required for the movement of elevators and the hoisting equipment. Sometimes shafts are constructed inclined to connect two galleries or the same gallery at two different elevations by a staircase or a lift arrangement.
A plumb line shaft is constructed at the maximum section of the dam to make observations of the deflection of the dam under loads.
A plumb bob is suspended by a wire fixed at the top of the shaft. As the dam deflects relative to the base, the plumb bob also moves by the same amount.
A stilling well shaft is a special shaft used to record fluctuations of the water level in the reservoir. The shaft is connected to the reservoir at a point below the minimum reservoir level.
There is a floating mechanism in the stilling well shaft which records fluctuations in the water level.
The spillway in a gravity dam is called overflow section. Spillway is provided to dispose of surplus water from the reservoir to the downstream.
Spillways are provided for all dams as a safety measure against overtopping and the consequent damages, and failure. spillway may be located either in the middle of the dam or at the end of the dam near abutment.
It must have adequate discharge capacity.
It must be hydraulically and structurally safe.
The surface of the spillway must be erosion resistant.
It should be provided with some device for the dissipation of excess energy
The portion of the gravity dam other than the spillway is a non-overflow section, a road is located on the non-overflow section of the dam.
At the one end of a gravity dam a power house is located. Water from the reservoir passes tnrough penstock and rotates the turbine provided at power elevations to produce electricity.
Water flowing over a spillway has a ver

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
