    &
    TYPES OF SPILLWAYS

    Spillway:

    Spillways are structures constructed to


    provide safe release of flood waters from a
    dam to a downstream are, normally the
    river on which the dam has been
    constructed.

    Ashlin T V 29 2
    Requirements:

    ☻Should able to pass the designed flood


    without raising the reservoir level above
    H.F.L.
    ☻Should provide structural stability to the
    dam under all conditions of flood.
    ☻Section of spillway should be economical.
    ☻Operation of spillway should be efficient.
    Ashlin T V 29 3
    Types of spillways:
    ☻Overflow spillway
    ☻Chute spillway
    ☻Side channel spillway
    ☻Saddle spillway
    ☻Emergency spillway
    ☻Shaft spillway
    ☻Siphon spillway

    Ashlin T V 29 4
    Overflow spillway:
    ☻Also called ogee-shaped (S-shaped) spillways.
    ☻This type of spillways allows the passage of the flood
    wave over its crest (which is S-shaped).
    ☻Widely used on Gravity dams, Arch dams, and
    Buttress dams.
    ☻Reduce the impact of water at downstream.
    ☻Reduce scouring.
    ☻Used for small concrete dams.

    Chute spillway:
    ☻ Discharge is conveyed from the reservoir to
    the d/s through an open channel.
    ☻ Profile is influenced by site topography.
    ☻ Used for earth fill dam
    ☻ Crest of spillway is kept normal to its centre
    line.

    Side channel spillway:

    ☻ It is used when dam is not rigid and it is


    undesirable to pass flood water over the dam.
    ☻ After passing crossing over the spillway rest,
    water flows parallel to the crest.

    Ashlin T V 29 10
    Ashlin T V 29 11
    Saddle spillway:
    ☻ Constructed when other types of
    spillways are not favourable.
    ☻ There may be some natural depressions
    on the periphery of the reservoir basin away
    from the dam.

    Ashlin T V 29 12
    Emergency spillway:
    ☻ Rarely used.

    ☻ Extra spillways provided on a project in


    case of emergency.

    ☻ Used to convey frequently occurring


    outflow rates.

    Ashlin T V 29 13
    Ashlin T V 29 14
    Shaft spillway:
    ☻ The shape is just like a funnel.
    ☻ Water drops through a vertical shaft to a
    horizontal conduit that conveys the water past
    the dam.
    ☻ Also called as glory hole spillway.

    Ashlin T V 29 15
    Ashlin T V 29 16
    Siphon spillway:
    ☻ Designed by the principle of siphon.
    ☻ When water rises over FRL then water start
    spilling.
    ☻ There is an air vent for removing the
    entrapped pressure from the water.
