Question: Design a suitable section for the overflow portion of a concrete gravity dam having the downstream face sloping at a slope of 0 . 7

Design a suitable section for the overflow portion of a concrete gravity dam having the
downstream face sloping at a slope of 0.75 H: 1 V. The design discharge for the spillway is
4000 m3
/s. The height of the spillway crest is kept at RL 190.0 m. The average river bed level
at the site is 100.0 m. The spillway length consists of 4 spans having a clear width of 15 m
each. Thickness of each pier may be taken to be 2.0 m. Other data, if required, may be suitably
assumed.
