Given

 H ( maximum water depth to be retained)=45m

 Tail water depth, h=0
 Top (or crest) width, L =4m
 Unit weight of concrete, =25 KN/m3
 Unit weight of water, w=10 KN/m3
 Uplift intensity factor, = 1.0
 Allowable coefficient of friction within concrete and between concrete and foundation, f = 0.65
 Ultimate shear resistance of dam and foundation, Sa = 4MPa
 Minimum permissible shear friction safety factor, S.F.F = 5
 Wind velocity over water, UA = 100Km/h
 Fetch, F = 30 km
 Maximum allowable inclined stress in dam or foundation, =3MPa

Assumption
 Assume there is no earth quake

Required
A. Design the gravity dam by zone (or multiple step) design method.
B. Design the gravity dam by single step design method
C. Sketch the section of the dam design by the two methods of design

Solution
a) Design the gravity dam by zone ( or multiple step) design method.

Free board

Hs = 0.032 A F) + 0.76 – 0.24F1/4

= 0.032 (100*30) + 0.76 – 0.24(30)1/4 =1.951

HS = 1.951 (significant wave height)

The theoretical rise above the still water level is 1 HS

Free board = HS = 4/3 HS = 4/3 * 1.95 = 2.60 take 3.0

Free board = 3.0m

Wave pressure

Total load due to wave action (PWAVE) is computed

PWAVE = 2 W Hs2

= 2*10* (1.95)2

= 76.05

PWAVE = 76.05

Lever arm from maximum still water level

ZONE 1

ZONE 1 consists of the part above section 1 -2 it resists a new action and requires new design
computation

ZONE 2

RESERVOIR FULL CASE

Assumptions

Neglect the weight of parapet an and assume zone 1 to be purely rectangular and the center of
gravity of this zone (zone 1) to act at center of the bottom width of the slice

By so doing we achieve safe design by dimension regarding stabilizing weight of parapet

Manipulation of table 1

For a straight gravity dam, a moment equation may be written about the downstream middle third
involving known dimensions and for ces and the unknown distance from high water to the bottom of
zone 2

Weight and pressure forces

3
A. Weight of zone 1

Pm1 = 4*1*1* C
= 4*1*1*25
= 100KN
Pm1 =100KN

B. Weight of zone 2

Pm2 = 4*1*h* C
= 4*1*h*25
Pm2 =100h KN

C. Hydrostatic pressure force

Pwh2 = ½ * C *Z12
= ½ * 10* h2
Pwh2 = 5h2 KN

D. Uplift pressure force

For a dam slice of uniform thickness the total uplift force is obtained by applying pressure
intensity diagram to that portion of the area of the base of the dam ( slices) on which it is
assumed to act .
Puv= C w [ Za + ½* (Z1 – Z2 ]] A

Where
C = cohesion
Z1 = head water depth
Z2 = tail water depth
A = area of the base (bottom of Zone 2)

Cohesion C, and uplift intensity factor

When tail water depth is zero, C and are interchangeable
i.e.
when C = 0.5, = 1.0
C =1.0, = 0.5
C = 2/3, = 0.75
So for our case, since = 1.0 (given), the value of C = 0.5

.’. P uv2 = 0.5* 10{ 0+1/2* 1[h-0])*4*1

= 0.5*10*0.5h*4*1

 P uv2 = 10h (KN)

E. Wave pressure

Lever arm of weight is pressure forces (from d/s middle third)

-5h3 – 68.15h + 33.449 = 0

5
Simplifying and rearranging

H3 + 13.63h – 6.69 = 0

Adopt Newton Raphson method

F(h) = h3 + 13.63h + 6.69

F’(h) = 3h2 + 13.63

First trial

H = 0.5

F(0.5) = 0.53 +13.63(0.5) – 6.69 = 0.25

F’(0.5) = 3* (0.5)2 + 13.63 = 14.38

H=- =- = -0.0174

New trial

a + h = 0.5 + - 0.0174 = 0.48

trial 2

a =0.48

f(0.48) = -0.037008

f’(0.48) = 14.3212

h=- =- = 0.00258

new a = 0.48+ 0.003 = 0.48258 take 0.48

.’. h = 0.48m

Inserting the value of h into table 1 and summating horizontal and vertical forces, determine the
inclination of the resultant

∑horizontal forces = 5h2 + 76.05 = 5* ( 0.48)2 + 76.05 = 77.202

∑vertical forces = 100 + 100h -10h = 100 + 100*0.48 – 10 *0.48 = 143.2 KN

6
Tan Ѳ = ∑horizontal forces/∑vertical forces

Where , Ѳ = inclination of the resultant

Tan Ѳ = 77.202/143.2 = 0.53912

Ѳ= tan -1 ( 0.53912) = 28.330

∑
P’u= = 2*143.2KN/4m*1m= 71.6KN/m2

It is given that maximum allowable inclined stress in dam or foundation is 

 =3pa= 3000KN/m2
Since p’u<  ……..Safe!

Reservoir empty case

It is evident from inspection that the resultant is at the center of the block for reservoir empty case.

7
Zone III [block 1] trial solution

Reservoir full

Below 0.48m depth, the D/S face must be battered to keep the resultant within the middle third.

Increments approximately equal to 15% of the depth below the top of dam within a minimum of 10ft
(3.048m)

15*45m/100= 6.75m

The depth of the first block will made at

3 -0.48= 2.52m

To bring the joint to an even depth of 5m below the high water level.

Since, 2.52 < 6.75 . . . . . it is allowed.

Analytical solution

The first block in zone III is of the form shown in the fig. below
