Tutorial 2-Part 1(Dam, intake and seepage)

2. For a gravity dam of drainage gallery as shown in figure, calculate (a) Maximum vertical stress at the
heel and toe of the dam (b) Major principal stress at the toe of the dam, (c) The intensity of shear stress
on a horizontal plane near the toe, (d) Check the stability of dam.
(Take permissible compressive stress for dam is 2500 KN/m2, tan = 0.75, and unit weight of concrete
23.5KN/m3). neglect the earthquake effect

3. Prepare/compute the practical profile for a gravity dam from following data:
RL of base of dam=1350m
Rl of HFL=1400m
Specific gravity of concrete=2.4
Safe compressive stress of concrete=3000KN/m2
Height of wave=1m
Hint:
4. Design the elementary profile of a gravity dam made of stone masonary with following data: RL of
base of dam=198m, RL of HFL=228m, specific gravity of stone masonary=2.4, safe compressive stress in
masonary is 1200KN/m^2, tanφ=0.70 and seepage coefficient=1.

5. For the non-overflow section of a concrete dam given in the figure. Check, stability against
overturning, sliding and material failure at heel and toe of the dam assuming the following data.
Unit weight of sediment = 26 kN/m3
Unit weight of concrete = 24 kN/m3
Allowable compressive stress in foundation = 8000 kN/m2
Allowable compressive stress in concrete = 10000 kN/m2
Angle of friction between concrete and foundation = 35°
Unit shear resistance between foundation and dam = 600 kN/m 2
Angle of friction of sediment particles = 30°
240m

Note: 255m shown in above figure is the RL of top of dam.

6. For the dam profile given below, plot the phreatic line.

7. Figure below shows the crossection of earthen dam. Construct the pheretic line and calculate seepage
through body of dam. Take k=1 x 10-6m/s
8. Design a side intake for given conditions
Turbine discharge = 1.45 m3/s
River bed level = 3315masl
Weir crest level = 3317.5 masl
Water level in canal = 3317.3 masl.
Assume required data suitably.
Also design track rack.

9. A homogenous earthen dam is 21.5 m high dam and has a free board of 1.5 m. A flow net was
constructed and flowing results were noted. Number of potential drops = 12 Number of flow channels =
3. The dam has a horizontal filter of 15 m length at its drawdown end. Calculate the discharge per meter
length of the dam if the coefficient of permeability of the dam material is 2.7 x 10-3cm/sec.
