This document discusses the safety and stability analysis of gravity dams. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Gravity dams derive stability from their weight resisting overturning forces from reservoir water. Various loading cases are analyzed including empty, full, seismic, and flood conditions. Stability is checked against overturning, sliding, shear stresses and overstressing to ensure safety factors are not exceeded under different load combinations.
This document discusses the analysis of safety and stability for concrete gravity dams. It begins with an outline of the topics to be covered in Lecture 5, including a summary of loading cases, design of concrete gravity dams, safety analysis, and stability analysis. The document then provides detailed descriptions and diagrams for each of the 8 loading cases to be considered in the safety and stability analysis. It discusses the design of gravity dams and the procedures for analysis. Key aspects of the safety and stability analysis are described, including checking for overturning, sliding, shear stresses, and overstressing of the concrete. Diagrams are provided to illustrate the concepts of checking for overturning, sliding, and factors of safety.
This document presents an analysis of slope stability under rapid drawdown conditions and seismic loads for the Mandali Dam in Iraq. It uses the finite element software SLIDE V.6.0 to analyze the upstream slope stability during rapid drawdown from an operating water level of 182.5m to 172m. The analysis finds that the factor of safety decreases from 2.983 under normal conditions to 1.837 during rapid drawdown. Adding seismic loads of 0.07g further reduces the factor of safety to 1.376 and 1.254 for seismic loads in one and two directions, respectively. However, the upstream slope is found to remain stable even under these rapid drawdown and seismic conditions.
Comparison between static and dynamic analysis of elevated water tank 2IAEME Publication
The document compares the static and dynamic analysis of elevated water tanks. It aims to study the dynamic response of tanks using both analysis methods and to examine the effects of hydrodynamic pressure. Static analysis may provide considerably different responses than dynamic analysis for the same tank parameters. As tank capacity increases, so too does the difference between static and dynamic responses. Hydrodynamic pressure from water sloshing also affects tank response, with impulsive pressure typically greater for smaller tanks and convective pressure greater for larger tanks.
The document discusses using linear fluid viscous dampers to dissipate seismic energy in steel structures, summarizing how the dampers work by resisting force through piston movement in viscous fluid according to velocity. A study is presented analyzing the seismic response of a 12-story steel building with diagonal fluid viscous dampers subjected to earthquake accelerations, finding the dampers significantly improve the structure's dissipative capacity and reduce necessary steel quantities.

This document discusses stability evaluation techniques for staged construction projects involving soft cohesive soils, where controlled rates of loading are used. It reviews three types of stability analyses: total stress analysis, effective stress analysis, and undrained strength analysis. For staged construction, the key issue is what drainage condition is assumed during potential failure - drained or undrained. An effective stress analysis inherently assumes drained failure, but failures often occur undrained. The document argues undrained strength analysis is most appropriate for staged construction, as it accounts for changes in undrained shear strength during construction. Case histories are presented to illustrate the importance of the drainage assumption made. The document provides recommendations on conducting undrained strength analyses and monitoring field performance during staged construction.
Gravity dams are solid structures constructed of concrete or masonry across a river to create an upstream reservoir. They resist forces through their own weight distributed in a triangular cross-section.

Spillways are designed to safely pass excess water from a reservoir to prevent overtopping of a dam. They come in many forms depending on site conditions but commonly include an overflow structure like an ogee crest to control reservoir levels. Proper spillway capacity is essential for dam safety as inadequate capacity contributes to 40% of dam failures. Spillway design considers hydrologic factors, hydraulic performance including discharge coefficients, and structural aspects like cost-effectiveness. Gates may be added to overflows to allow flexible reservoir operation while preventing overtopping during floods.
The document provides information on diversion headworks for water resources engineering projects.

1) Canals are artificial channels constructed to carry water from a source like a river or reservoir to agricultural fields.
2) Canals are classified based on their water source (permanent or inundation), function (irrigation, navigation, power), alignment (watershed, contour, side slope), discharge (main, branch, distributary), and whether they have lining.
3) The cross-section of a canal includes components like side slopes, berms, freeboard, banks, and may involve partial cutting and filling to achieve a balancing depth.
Canal lining involves adding an impermeable layer to canal beds and banks to reduce water seepage losses. Common lining materials include compacted earth, concrete, and plastic membranes. Lining can conserve up to 50% of irrigation water by preventing seepage and allowing canals to maintain higher water velocities using smaller cross-sections. It also stabilizes canal banks, prevents erosion, and increases the command area by allowing flatter canal slopes. Hard linings include cast concrete while earth linings use compacted soil or soil-bentonite mixes. Buried plastic membranes are another option but are susceptible to damage.
Spillways are structures constructed near dams to safely discharge surplus water from reservoirs. There are several types of spillways classified by their utility and prominent features. Main spillways are designed to pass the entire design flood volume, while auxiliary spillways supplement the main spillway. Emergency spillways activate only during emergencies. Common spillway types include overflow, which guides water smoothly over a curved crest; side channel, which diverts flow through a parallel channel; and tunnel, which conveys flow through a closed channel around the dam. Shaft spillways similarly direct water vertically then horizontally through a tunnel.
This document discusses different types of earth and rockfill dams. It describes rolled fill dams which are constructed by compacting soil in thin layers. Homogeneous dams consist of a single material throughout while zoned dams have distinct core, shell, and filter zones. Diaphragm dams contain an impervious core like a thin wall. Key elements of earth dam design include the top width, freeboard, slopes, central core, and downstream drainage system.
This document discusses different types of subsurface irrigation methods, including natural and artificial subsurface irrigation. Natural subsurface irrigation involves using the natural water table to irrigate crops through capillary action, while artificial subsurface irrigation uses buried perforated pipes to maintain the water table below the soil surface. The document also discusses sprinkler irrigation systems, how they work, their advantages of uniform water distribution and adaptability, and disadvantages like high costs and interference from wind. Finally, it defines and discusses drip irrigation, how it efficiently applies water directly to plant roots, and its advantages like water and fertilizer efficiency as well as disadvantages like sensitivity to clogging.
The document discusses different types of spillways used in dam construction including:
- Main and emergency spillways which provide controlled water release from dams.
- Straight (free overfall) spillways where water freely drops over the crest edge.
- Ogee spillways with an S-shaped crest profile that are commonly used in rigid dams.
- Side channel spillways which divert water away from the main dam through an adjacent channel.
- Chute spillways which lower water levels through steeply inclined channels.
- Tunnel spillways which pass water through underground tunnels.
- Siphon spillways which use siphonic action through enclosed conduits to discharge water downstream.
Spillways are structures used to release water from reservoirs to prevent overflow of dams. There are two main types of spillways: controlled and uncontrolled. Controlled spillways have gates to regulate water flow, while uncontrolled spillways release water once the reservoir level rises above the spillway crest. Spillways can also be classified based on their shape, such as ogee, side channel, labyrinth, chute, conduit, and baffled chute spillways. Each type has distinct hydraulic characteristics that make it suitable for different dam designs and site conditions.
This presentation discusses different types of spillways used in dam structures. Spillways are needed to safely discharge water from the reservoir during floods to prevent overtopping of the dam. The main types discussed are chute, shaft, saddle, and side channel spillways. Chute spillways convey water down an excavated open channel with a steep slope. Shaft spillways allow water to pass through a vertical shaft and horizontal conduit below the dam. Saddle spillways use natural depressions as spillway routes. Side channel spillways route flood water parallel to the dam.
This document discusses the design principles for retaining walls. It describes:
1) Different categories of retaining structures based on height, including curbs under 0.6m, short walls up to 3m using reinforcement, and taller walls requiring bracing.
2) Design considerations for stability of soils, the wall itself, structural strength, and effects on adjacent structures.
3) Basic loading factors including earth pressures, water pressures, and surcharges from loads or traffic.
4) Considerations for soil properties, selection of backfill material, and effects of groundwater.
The document describes four main methods of irrigation: surface irrigation, subsurface irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and drip or trickle irrigation. Surface irrigation involves applying water to the soil surface through methods like flooding, furrows, borders, or basins. Subsurface irrigation applies water underground through trenches or pipes. Sprinkler irrigation sprays water into the air through nozzles, simulating rainfall. Drip irrigation delivers water slowly to the soil through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. Each method has advantages and suitability for different crop and soil conditions.

DESIGN OF GRAVITY DAMS
INTRODUCTION:
Dams are national properties, for the
development of national economy in which large
investments are deployed
Safety of dams is a very important aspect for
safeguarding national investmentand
benefits derived by the project
Unsafe dams constitute hazards to human life
in the downstream reaches
Safety of dams and allied structures is an
important aspect to be examined to ensure
public confidence and to protect downstream
area from any potential hazards.

DESIGN OF GRAVITY DAMS
T
echnically, a concrete gravity dam derives its
stability from the force of gravity of its materials.
The gravity dam has sufficient weight so as to
withstand the force and the over turning
moments caused by the water impounded in
the reservoir behind it.
It transfers the loads to the foundations by
cantilever action and hence good foundations
ar
e pre requisite for the gravity dam.
16
17. DR. BAKENAZ ZEDAN 4/2/2013
DESIGN OF GRAVITY DAMS
Gravity dams are satisfactorily adopted for narrow valleys
having
stiff geological formations.
Their own weight resists the forces exerted upon them.
They must have sufficient weight against overturning
tendency about the toe.
The base width of gravity dams must be large enough
prevent sliding.
These types of dams are susceptible to settlement,
overturning, sliding and severe earthquake shocks.

PROCEDURE OF CONCRETE GRAVITY DESIGN
In the gravity dam calculations one should proceed through the following
steps:
1determination of all expected acting loads
2 state the combination of acting loads for each case of loading
3check stability against overturning for all possible cases of loading (cases
of full reservoir)
4 check stability against forward sliding for all possible cases of loading
(cases
of full reservoir)
5determine normal stress distribution at dam base and any given sections
for all cases of loading
6determine maximum and minimum principal and shear stresses at
dam base and any given sections for all cases of loading
7compare results with corresponding factors of safety and allowable
stresses 8- approve the dam profile or redesign for a new profile

must prove its safety and
under all loading conditions.
Since the probability of occurrence of extreme events is
relatively small, the joint probability of the independent
extreme events is negligible. In other words, the
probability that two extreme events occur at the
same time is relatively very low.
Therefore, combination of extreme events are
not considered in the stability criteria.

Normal Loads
They are those, under the combined action of which the dam shall have adequate
stability
, and the factors of safety and permissible stresses in the dam shall not be exceeded.
Abnormal Loads
These are the loads which in combination with normal loads encroach upon the factor of
safety and increase the allowable stresses although remaining lower than the higher emergency
stress limits.

SAFETY AGAINST OVERSTRESSING
A dam may fail if any of its part is overstressed
and hence the stresses at any part of the dam
should not exceed the allowable working stress
concrete.
Hence the strength in dam concrete should be
of
more than the anticipated in the structure by a
margin
The maximum compressive stresses occur at:
safe
at heel (at reservoir empty condition)
or
and
at toe (at reservoir full condition)
on planes normal to the face of the dam. 39

SAFETY AGAINST OVERSTRESSING
For design considerations, the calculation of
the stresses in the body of the dam follows
from the basics of elastic theory, which is
applied in two- dimensional vertical plane, and
assuming the block of the dam to be a
cantilever in the vertical plane attached to the
foundation.
The contact stress between the foundation
and the dam or the internal stress in the dam
body must be compressive. 40

AT DAM BASE
Naturally, there would be tension on the upstream face
if the overturning moments under the reservoir full
condition increase such that e becomes greater than
B/6. The total vertical stresses at the upstream and
downstream faces are obtained by addition of external
hydrostatic pressures.
The contact stress between the foundation and the
dam or the internal stress in the dam body must be
compressive. In order to maintain compressive
stresses in the dam or at the foundation level, the
