    This document assigns a group of students problems 7 tasks to design and analyze the stability of a concrete gravity dam under various loading conditions. The tasks include: 1) designing the dam given parameters like reservoir level, compressive stress limits, and densities, 2) analyzing stability under usual, unusual, and extreme loadings that include hydrostatic forces, gravity loads, ice loads, silt loads, and earthquakes. Parameters for the analysis like earthquake coefficients, friction values, stress limits, and unit weights are provided.

    Hydraulic Structures:

    Assignment: Group 4, 5 and 6, Compiled by :M.M.Qawdhan

    Total marks 40%, Deadline: 10 Feb 2018, Total Number of problems #7

    1. Design a concrete gravity dam for the following data


    a) Maximum allowable compressive stress in concrete = 3000 kn/m2
    b) Maximum reservoir level = 200 m
    c) Bottom of the dam = 100 above mean sea level ( 100 M.S.L)
    d) Specific gravity of concrete = 2.4
    e) Unit weight of water = 10 kN/m3
    f) The dam will have a free board of about say 3% dam height
    7. Analyse the stability of the gravity dam shown below for the following loading combinations:

    a) Usual loading: Hydrostatic force for normal operating water level+ gravity (dead) load+ice

    load (60KN/m) + silt load (hs=5 m, γsub=11KN/m3 , φa=32°)

    b) Unusual loading: Hydrostatic force for at full reservoir + gravity (dead) load+silt load

    c) Extreme loading: Loading a+ Earthquake (considering F horiz and F vert separately)

    Data:

    i. Earthquake coefficient, k=0.07


    ii. Friction between dam and soil, f=0.85
    iii. Uplift reduction coefficient, φ=0.60
    iv. Allowable shear stress in concrete, τs=1500 KN/m2
    v. Allowable compressive stress in soil, σall, soil=3000 KN/ m2
    vi. Allowable compressive stress in concrete, σall, conc.=2500 KN/ m2
    vii. Normal operating level, H=+75 m
    viii. Unit weight of concrete, γconc=24 KN/m3
    ix. Unit weight of water, γwater=10 KN/m3
