    This document provides the steps to design the cross-sectional profile of a concrete gravity dam. It includes calculating the base width, upstream and downstream slopes, and freeboard height. Stability is checked for empty and full reservoir conditions. Forces, stresses, and safety factors are analyzed. The resulting cross-sectional profile meets all stability requirements with vertical normal stress, shear stress, horizontal normal stress, and principal stresses below allowable limits.

    Solution:

    Determination of the cross sectional profile of concrete gravity dam for the following data and
    plot the profile by the single step method of design.

    (maximum water depth to be retained)= 45m


    Tail water depth, h=0
    Top (or crest) width, L=4m
    Unit weight of concrete,=25KN/m3
    Unit weight of water, w=10KN/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,
    Fetch
    Maximum allowable inclined stress in dam or foundation,=3MPa

    Step one: Let to derive the base width of base of the elementary profile

    B= = = 36.9m ==37m

    Now it is possible to calculate the base width of the triangular profile


    b=37-4 =33m
    Lets consider the downstream inclination (d)

    Using this value we can calculate the height of the triangular profile:

    Before checking whether this dam is stable or not first lets determine the free
    board of the dam as follow
    Computing the significant wave height:-

    Hs = significant wave height for this we use the equation :-


    Hs = 0.0032 +0.76-0.24 = 0.0032 +0.76-0.24 = 1.95m

    Wave rise above still water level (Freeboard), then

    Take the free board 3.0 m


    Therefore, height of the dam

    4.80

    Fig 1: the cross section of the dam


    Step 2: Now lets check the stability of the dam for empty reservoir condition
    Computation of forces:-

    dimension Vertical force Horizontal from toe about the toe

    Weight of dam
    W1 4*48*25 4800 35 168000
    W2 0.5*33*40.2*25 16582.5 22 364815
    Sum 21382.5 532815
    Step 3: Cheek whether the resultant is in the middle third (kern) i.e.

    (The negative sign indicates the resultant


    passes towards the heel)

    The resultant force was outside of the middle third at empty reservoir condition. Hence it needs
    to provide an upstream batter.

    Step 4: With the upstream slope provided, take moment of the upstream middle third point, for
    the now base width.

    Dam with upstream flare (batter)

    Figure: free body diagram force analysis for the providing upstream batter

    By Applying Moment Area Method, lets calculate the centroid of the crest mass ( )
    Total area ( AeF)* BE = 4(3) (2) + 1/2*4.9*4(2.67)
    (12 + 9.8)BE = 24 + 26.17
    BE = 2.3 m

    From triangle similarity theorem ACD ABE

    Y= 45- 8.4=36.6m

    Now consider the dam for empty reservoir condition

    For reservoir empty condition (Taking summation of moment about the new upstream
    middle third

    (12.33-4)

    =5640.98BF-305BF2+49584-226682.8

    Using quadratic equation we can solve the values of

    ?????

    Take the positive value of

    Check the stability of the dam for this section about the heel for reservoir empty
    condition.

    W3 0.5*25*40.2*33 16582.5 24.67 409090.28

    =703044.61

    Therefore the resultant force lies in the middle third.

    Now lets check the stability of the dam for reservoir empty condition

    A. Stability against overturning


    Not necessary since it is stable in empty condition!

    B. overstress

    C. Vertical stress

    D. Horizontal Normal Stress


    Upstream:-

    Downstream:

    =37.6

    E. Shear stress

    F. Principal Stress
