A spillway is to be designed for a flood control reservoir. The design must pass the 200 year event of 50,000 cfs while not allowing the upstream water elevation to exceed 800 ft. The channel can be approximated by rectangular section 500 ft wide. a. What should be the elevation of the spillway crest in order to meet the design specification?

(b) A dam spillway is to be designed as a combination of a circle-quadrant and rectangular cross- section, as shown in Fig. Q3b. The design constraints are as follows: • The base width (w) must not exceed three times the height (h) of water. • The total wetted perimeter must not exceed 15 m. The spillway must contain an average velocity of 1.5 m/s. Determine the dimensions (w and h) that satisfy the constraints, and then calculate the flow of water in the spillway. Fig. Q3b.

3. Water is flowing uniformly with flow rate 18.6 m3/s and water depth 1.2 m in a rectangular open channel of width 8 m. A temporary short span bridge is proposed to be constructed across the channel in which bridge embankment is needed at both sides of the channel causing the channel to be constricted under the proposed bridge. (i) Calculate the maximum channel width under the proposed bridge thatwill not cause backwater upstream. (ii) If the channel width under the proposed bridge is 4 m due to theunvoidable problem condition, calculate the expected flow depth underthe bridge, at just upstream and at just downstream of the bridge.(iii) If the water depth just upstream of the proposed bridge is limited to be0.2 m higher than the normal depth, calculate the channel width underthe bridge.

Problem 4.7: An uncontrolled overflow spillway is designed to transmit Qo-400 m³/s as shown in Figure 4.65. The approach channel, stilling basin, and tailrace section are all rectangular in cross-section with L-40 m. The flow is assumed to be uniform at section 4, where the mean bed slope is So-0.0008 and Manning's roughness coefficient is n=0.03. The submerged specific weight and angle of repose of foundation material are 11 kN/m³ and 0-32°, respectively. The specific weight of water is 10 kN/m³. Ignoring the frictional and minor losses between sections 1 and 4, determine: a) the percent energy loss through the hydraulic jump; b) the horizontal component of the resultant force acting on the overflow spillway. Assume that the upstream pressure distribution is hydrostatic. Answers: a) 62% b) 38713 kN
