Design an overflow spillway including the profiles using the data given below.
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.
Height of the spillway crest is 50 m
Number of spans is 10
Length of each span (clear) is 12.5 m
Downstream slope of the spillway is 0.75(H) : 1(V)
Rock condition is good
Design discharge is 8500 m3/sec
Coefficient of discharge is 2.2
Kp is 0.01
Ka is 0.10
For vertical upstream face is K =2 and n =1.85
