    There are several types of dams including earth dams, rock fill dams, gravity dams, arch dams, steel dams, and timber dams. Earth dams are constructed from local earthen materials like sand, clay, stone, and water. Rock fill dams use rock fragments and boulders with an impervious layer to reduce seepage. Gravity dams are massive structures used to hold large amounts of water made of concrete. Arch dams are more durable than other dam types with their curved, convex shape. Steel dams use a steel framework on the upstream side in cantilever or direct strutted designs. Timber dams are constructed entirely from timber, usually pine. Forces acting on dams include water pressure, uplift pressure,

    1. TYPES OF DAM

    2. FORCE ACTING ON DAM


    TYPES OF DAM
     EARTH DAM
     ROCK FILL DAM
     GRAVITY DAM
     ARCH DAM STELL DAM
     STELL DAM
     TIMBER DAM
    EARTH DAM
    • Dam which is constructed by using earthen material which is easily
    available in nature known as earth dam
    • Material used for dam
    1)Sand
    2)Clay
    3)Stone
    4)Water
    ROCK FILL DAM
    • A rock fill dam is constructed from rock fragment and large boulders.
    • Seepage is reduced by using impervious layer.
    • Concreate is mainly used on upstream side.
    • Foundation is stronger than earth dam
    GRAVITY DAM
    • Gravity dam is a one of the massive type of dam.
    • It used to hold large amount of back water.
    • It is made up of from concreate.
    • It as low maintenance cost compare to other dam.
    ARCH DAM
    • Dam entered structure is curved and convexity toward the upstream
    side of dam
    • This dams are durable compare to other dam
    STEEL DAM
    • Dam constructed by using steel material known as steel dam .
    • In this dam steel framework is provided upstream side.
    • Type of steel dam
    1)Cantilever dam
    2)Direct strutted
    TIMBER DAM
    • Dam which are constructed by using timber known as timber dam.

    • Timber dam are also constructed by using timber of pine


    FORCE
    ACTING
    ON
    DAM
    FORCE ACTING ON DAM
    • WATER PRESSURE
    • UPLIFT PRESSURE
    • EARTHQUAKE PRESSURE
    • SELF WEIGHT OF DAM
    • SILT PRESSURE
    • WAVE PRESSURE
    • ICE PRESSURE
    WATER PRESSURE
    • Pressure of water act perpendicular on upstream side of dam known
    as water pressure.
    • The water is mostly on the upstream side of dam because water is
    not present on the downstream side
    UPLIFT WATER FORCE
    • When the water is stored on upstream side and this water create a pressure
    which is proportional to its height.
    • Due to this pressure this water is entered in to the crack , joints between
    dam and foundation.
    • This water due to pressure push the dam upword.
    EARTHQUAKE PRESSURE
    • Dynamic load created due to earthquake for the construction major dam
    earthquake load should be considered

    • Earthquake load should be horizontal and vertical direction.

    • Mostly Earthquake affected horizontally.


    SILT PRESSUREE
    • The weight silt exert a pressure on foundation of dam known as silt
    pressure
    WAVE PRESSURE
    • Waves are generated due to wind blowing which exert a pressure on
    upper part of the dam above water level
    ICE PRESSURE
    • Ice formed on surface of water in cold countries they exert a pressure
    on dam known as ice pressure.
