Design Question of Overflow Spillway

A. Using the following data, design a overflow spillway with the profiles.

 Height of the spillway crest = 50m

 Number of spans = 10
 Length of each span (clear) = 12.5m
 Downstream slope of the spillway = 0.75(H) : 1(V)
 Rock condition = good
 Design discharge = 8500 m3/sec
 Coefficient of discharge = 2.20
 Kp = 0.01 and Ka =0.10
 For vertical upstream face (K = 2 and n = 1.85)

For the upstream profile you may use either of the two alternatives:

Alternative -1:

Alternative - 2: Values of R1 = 0.5Hd and R2 = 0.20Hd with a = 0.175Hd and b = 0.282Hd

B. In order to dissipate the energy below the spillway, it is proposed to form a hydraulic jump in a stilling
basin at the toe of the spillway. Calculate the length and height of the sidewall of the stilling basin.

Good Luck, Have a Great Year and Keep in Touch!!!
