SPILLWAY
• A spillway is a structure used to
provide for the controlled release
of flows from a dam or levee into
a downstream area, typically being
the river that was dammed.

• Common type of spillways:
13
Free overfall or straight drop spillway
14
Ogee or overflow spillway
•Siphonic action takes place after the air in the bend over the
crest has been exhausted.

Problem 01
Problem 01: An overflow spillway with the upstream face vertical is to
be designed for a flood peak of 3000 m3/s. The height of the
spillway crest is kept at RL 130.50 m. The average river bed level
at the site is 102.50 m. The number of spans is 6, clear waterway
between piers is 12 m, thickness of the pier is 2 m, pier
contraction coefficient, Kp = 0.02 and abutment contraction
coefficient, Ka = 0.20 for the effect of end contraction. Assume
the coefficient of discharge is 2.20 and the slope of the d/s face
of the overflow section is 0.8: 1.

Check,
P/Hd = 28/7.11
= 3.94 ~~greater than 1.33
So effect of velocity can be neglected
