Concept explainers

Spillway design

A spillway is the overflow portion of the dam that carries the surplus discharge flow from the reservoir to the downstream, that is, it carries the flood water safely downstream, which is enough to be stored in that reservoir. Therefore, it acts as a safety valve for the dam because many failures of the dam arise due to the incorrect design of the spillway.

Question

3. In a railway cutting, the side slopes are 1.5:1 and the surface of the ground has a
uniform side slope of 1 in 10. The width at the formation level is 4.0 m. Determine the
volume of excavation between two points 50 m apart on the centerline with the depth
of cutting at the first point being 6.0 m and at the second point being 8.0 m, while at a
point halfway between them the depth is 6.5 m. If the points at which the depth of
cutting is measured lie on a curve of radius 300 m, what will be the correction to be
applied?

A layer of fine sand exists over a stratum of impervious rock. The sand layer is 6.25m thick. The site is flooded and the water surface is 1.25m above the surface of the sand. It is proposed to excavate a very wide ditch through the site and to remove sand to a depth of 2.5m below the existing surface of the sand. One side of the excavation is to be supported by sheet piling driven to a depth of 4.4m below the existing surface of the sand. Draw a flow net and determine the seepage in m³/min per m length for the sand with a permeability of 0.18m/sec.
