Spillways Including Energy Dissipators Sectional Committee, RVD 10

FOREWORDThis Indian Standard ( First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, afterthe draft finalized by the Spillways Including Energy Dissipators Sectional Committee hadbeen approved by the RIver Valley Division Council.Spillway i~ an integral part of all river valley project, and is essentially required to pass down tothe fiver 01 to sorne other natural drainage, surplus or flood water which cannot be safelyretained upstream of the storage dam. Provision of a hydraultcally efficient and structurallystrong spillway I~ very Important for the safety of the dam and the life and property along thefiver down below.Generally the spillway can be provided directly over the dam in case of concrete or masonrydam. But for darns composed of earth or rock, or for dam, over which it is impossible orundcvrrable, for special reasons, to pass water, some form of spIllway adjacent to the dam is to beprovided. These may be either closed conduit or open channel spillways. In open channel spillwayswater I' conveyed from the reservoir to the rrver below the dam or to other natural drainagethrough an excavated and lined open channel with fairly steep slope and placed either alonga dam abutment or through a 'addle 111 the Tim of the reservoir. These consist of a low crestand a paved channel on a steep slope on the natural or excavated earth or rock formation.Generally the control structure is placed normal or nearly normal to the centre line of the channeldownstream. Such a spillway IS termed chute spillway. In narr ow canyons. or otherwise, wherethe site for the control structure is lrmrtcd in Width, the crest IS placed almost parallel to thechannel and the spillway IS then called Side channel spillway. A typical arrangement for chuteand side channel spillway is shown in Fig. 1.Chute and Side channel spillways can be constructed on all types of foundat ron materials rangingfrom solid rock to soft clays. However. If the foundatton materral is incapable of passing thewater without excessive erosion, It should alway, be protected by concrete paving. Due topossible usc of large amounts of spillway excavation in the dam embankment, these spillwaysgenerally result in overall economy in c.irthfill d.uns, Theve structures are specially suited insrtuut io ns where sound rocky foundatrons required for the conventional type of spillways( vert rca] drop type) are not available. Therefore, due to simplicity of their design and construe-non, adaptabih ty to alrnovt any fo undatron condition, these spillways are used with earthfilldarns more often than any other type.This standard was first published In 1969. This standard has been revised to update its contentsbased on the experience gained WIth the use of this standard. The principal modifications arein respect of design requirements of outlet channel, floor lining, drainage system and anchors.Par the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, should berounded off in accordance with IS 2: 1960 'Rulcs for roundmg off numerical values (revised)'.The number of srgruflcant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that ofthe specified value in this standard.

DESIGN OF CHUTE AND SIDE CHANNELSPILLWAYS - CRITERIA

( First Revision)

1 SCOPETills standard covers the criteria for hydraulicand structural designs anti othcr general rcquu-e,merits of chute and side channel spulways.

S.2 Site conditions generally influence thelocation, type, and components of a spillway.1 he steepness of the ten ain traversed by thecontrol and discharge channel, the class andamount of excavation and the possibrlrty forits use as embankment material, the chancesof scour of tile boundi ,g surfaces a nd the needfor hrung, the pel meabrlit y ant! bc.mng capacityof the Iounda tion, and the stabihty of theexcavated slopes should necessarily be consi-dered I n the selection of layout.

6 HYDRAULIC DESIGN6.1 Chute or side channel spillways in generalconsist of the following components:

a) An approach channel,b) Control structure,c) Side channel trough,d) Discharge channel,e) Energy dissipntor and/or terminal stru-

cture, andf) Outlet chan nel.

6.2 Approach Channel

6.2.1 Where the spillway is located through anabutment, saddle or ridge, an approach channelIS required to draw water from the reservoirand convey rt to the control structure.

6.2.2 Approach velocities should be hrmted andchannel curvatures and transitions should bemade gra-Iual, 111 order to minimize head lossthrough the channel and to obtrun uniformityof flow over the spillway CI est. Head loss IIIthe approach channel has the effect of reduc-ing the spillway discharge. High velocity mayalso necessitate lining of the channel depend-ing upon the rock. Even distribution of flowshould be ensured over the spillway crest asfar as possible.

6.2.3 The approach velocity and depth belowcrest level have important influence on thedischarge over an overflow crest. Prefer ablythc depth below the crest may be about half ofthc head over the crest for gooJ co-efficient ofdischarge.
