The minimum idth of the spillay may be determined depending on the alloable maximum unit discharge:: b min Q 1 5 q 1 max i t q n max max here:: Q discharge of spillay [[m /s],, -- coefficient of river bed erosion resistance, qmax - maximum flo found in naturally floing river ((stream) prior to its construction [m /sm]] Soil in river bed λ Rocks 1,80 Stones 1,60 Gravel 1,40 Sand gravel mixing 1,0 Coarse 1,0 Medium 1,15 Fine 1,10 Loamy 1,08 Organic soils 1,05 Medium clay 1,10 Heavy clay 1,15 Clay 1,0. Discharge capacity of spillay v M b h g Q o / here: c - idth of the crest [m], M discharge coefficient, b is the idth of the spillay [m], h - is the head from the ater level in the upper pool to the dam crest [m], - St Venant ratio = 1,1, v 0 - velocity of the ater hich flos to the spillay (velocity of approach;) [m/s], g - acceleration due to gravity [m/s ], - side throttling ratio, - submerging coefficient of the spillay v 0 g H / c >,0 H / c = 1,0 H / c = 0,5 inclination,0 1,0 factor m 1 1,86 1,78 1,64-1,70 1,78 1,70 1,55-1,60 1,7 1,64 * 5 1,67 1,55 * 10 1,55 * * H C 1 : m Page 5
6 h 1 0,n b here: n - number of bays of the spillay [-], b - idth of the spillay [m], h - depth of ater above the crest of the spillay[m], ξ - coefficient depending on the shape of pillars and abutments [-]. Submerging coefficient 16 a a a a 4 1 dla 0 0,9 or 0,811 0,9 1, 0 H 0 H 0 dla 0 0 H H here: a - the difference beteen the donstream ater level and the level of crest of spillay. If the donstream ater level is arranged belo the crest of the spillay, then it has no impact on its discharge (spillay is unsubmerged) and = 1. Condition to meet: Q > SDF. Stilling basin Condition to meet: h d h 1 The first step is to calculate the fraction here: q=q/b, =1,1 1 q... h o The second step is to choose the shape of spillay inlet, and to determine the velocity index i.e.=0,9 for rounded shape of inlet) The minimum depth of stilling basin: d min = 0,0 m. The length of stilling basin: l = 5(h - h 1 ) Page 6

Seepage To avoid soil piping and ensure the stability of dam the outline of the underground part of the foundation should be so developed to provide a sufficiently long filter path to ensure the proper seepage velocity reduction. In an approximate manner the required (minimum) length of filtration path is determined by the formula l p C h C - factor depending on the type of soil and method of calculation h - the maximum difference in ater levels on the upstream and donstream (max head) Bligh method l l i h i l i length of individual horizontal sections h i length of individual vertical sections Lane method 1 l l i h i l i length of individual horizontal sections h i length of individual vertical sections Condition to meet: l l p Subsoil of dam Bligh C B Lane C L Rocks -,5 Stones -,0 Gravel 7,5 Sand gravel mixing 9 4,0 Coarse 1 5,0 Medium 1 6,0 Fine 15 7,0 Loamy 18 8,5 Organic soils - - Medium clay 8,0 Heavy clay 6,0 Clay - 1,6 With insufficient length of filtration path under the building, e have to increase its length by forcing ater to flo around more developed contour. Here e can use a deck (a aterproof element made of clay or geomembrane) located on the reservoir s bottom and / or sheet pile all at the front of the dam s body. In addition, e can also put the sheet pile all on the end of the stilling basin (at point 7). This solution ill reduce the velocity of seepage, but also ill increase the uplift pressure acting on the slab (stilling basin). Page 8
