1. Explain all types of dam foundation treatment of each with example and net sketch?

Dam Foundation treatment.


Grouting:

Holes are drilled at shallow as well as deep and cement grouting is filled to establish an
effective barrier to seepage under the dam and to consolidate the foundation.

A, Consolidation grouting

Low-pressure grouting to fill voids, fracture zones, and cracks at and below the surface of the
excavated foundation is accomplished by drilling and grouting relatively shallow holes.

B , Curtain grouting

Curtain Grouting Construction of a deep grout curtain near the heel of the dam to control
seepage is accomplished by drilling deep holes and grouting them using higher pressure

foundationof a concret gravity dam. It is frequently used at all the other types of dam too and
is usually carried out before the dam is built over it.

C , BLANKET GROUTING
This type of grouting
strengthens an area rather
than forming a curtain as
shown above.The illustration
shows its use at the

b) Proper Protection against piping should be made for dam stability

D, Dental treatment:

The procedure of reinforcing and stabilizing weak zones during drilling action and final
excavation is called dental treatment.

E, Cut-off
Is imprevious borrier constructed at shallow depth to ensure the H2O tightness of the dam
foundation.

The bearing structure is ridged reinforced concrete

F, Plastic diaphragm
It is impervious borreir carried out by the plastic structure.ss

2. Explain all types of river diversion methods for dam construction

River Diversion
Before the dam can be constructed, diversion
of the river is necessary
Satisfactory handling of the stream flow during
construction is vital to the success of the work
cost of river diversion must be compared with the risk
of all or parts of the new dam in peak flood
conditions
types of diversion
tunnel, flume, concrete or steel pipeline and open channel .

River Diversion During Construction


In order to build a dam, one major temporary or semi temporary (but
essential and hardly avoidable) activity is required. That is river diversion

Hydroelectric project.
3. What factors you will keep in mind while selecting a suitable
site for a dam reservoir?

It is almost impossible to select a perfect aidial reservoir site, but its selection is gided by the
following factors

1, a suitable dam site is available the cost of the dam is generally a controlling factor in the
selection of a reservoir site .

2; the geological formation for the reservoir bank walls etc..should be such as to entail
minimum lakege .

3,the geology of the catchment area should be such as to entail minimum water losses through
absorption and percolation .

4, the site should be such that a deep reservoir if formed . a deep reservoir is prefered to a
shallow one because of lower land cost per unit of capacity less evaporation loss and less
possibility of weed growth .

5 , the reservoir site have adequate capacity .

6; Too mach silt laiden tributories should be avoided as for as possible.

7; the reservoir basin should have a deep narrow opening in the valley, so that the length of the
dam is minimum.

14. Explain briefly with neat sketches the different forces that may act on a
gravity dam. Indicate their magnitudes, directions and locations
Forces Acting on a Gravity Dam

These forces fall into two categories as:

a) Forces, such as weight of the dam and water pressure, which are directly
calculable from the unit weights of the materials

and properties of fluid pressures; and

b) Forces, such as uplift, earthquake loads, silt pressure and ice

pressure, which can only be assumed on the basis of

assumption of varying degree of reliability.

It is in the estimating of the second category of the forces

that special care has to be taken and reliance placed on

availaible data, experience, and judgment.

It is convenient to compute all the forces per unit length of the dam.

Weight of Dam

Main stabilizing force in a gravity dam


Dead load = weight of concrete or masonry or both + weight of such
appurtenances as piers, gates and bridges.

Weight of the dam per unit length is equal to the product

of the area of cross-section of the dam and the specific

weight (or unit weight) of the material.

Unit weight of concrete (24 kN/m3) and masonry (23

kN/m3) varies considerably depending upon the various

materials that go to make them.

For convenience, the cross-section of the dam is divided

into simple geometrical shapes, such as rectangles and

triangles, for the computation of weights.

The areas and controids of these shapes can be easily

determined. Thus the weight components W1,W2,W3 etc.

can be found along with their lines of action. The total weightWof the dam
acts at the C.G.of

Water Pressure (Reservoir and Tail Water Loads)

Water pressure on the upstream face is the main

destabilizing (or overturning) force acting on a gravity dam.

Tail water pressure helps in the stability.

Although the weight of water varies slightly with temp.,

the variation is usually ignored. Unit Mass of water is taken as

1000 kg/m3 and specific weight = 10 kN/m3 instead of 9.81

kN/m3.

The water pressure always acts normal to the face of dam.


It is convenient to determine the components of the forces in the
horizontal and vertical directions instead of the total force on the inc lined
surfacedirectly

Uplift Pressure

Water has a tendency to seep through the pores and

fissures of the material in the body of the dam and

foundation material, and through the joints between the

body of the dam and its foundation at the base. The seeping
water exerts pressure.

The uplift pressure is defined as the upward pressure of

water as it flows or seeps through the body of dam or its

foundation.

Aportion of the weight of the dam will be supported on

the upward pressure of water; hence net foundation

reaction due to vertical force will reduce.

The area over which the uplift pressure acts has been a

question of investigation from the early part of this century.

One school of thought recommends that a value one third to two -thirds
of the area should be considered as

effective over which the uplift acts.

Earth and Silt Pressure

Gravity dams are subjected to earth pressures on the

downstream and upstream faces where the foundation


trench is to be backfilled.

Except in the abutment sections in specific cases, earth

pressures have usually a minor effect on the stability of the

structure and may be ignored.

Silt is treated as a saturated cohesionless soil having full

uplift and whose value of internal friction is not materially

changed on account of submergence.

Ice Pressure

Ice expands and contracts with changes in temperature.

In a reservoir completely frozen over, a drop in the air

temperature or in the level of the reservoir water may cause

the opening up of cracks which subsequently fill with water

and freezed solid.When the next rise in temperature occurs,

the ice expands and, if restrained, it exerts pressure on the


dam.

Good analytical procedures exist for computing ice

pressures, but the accuracy of results is depen dent upon

certain physical data which have not been adequately

determined.

Ice pressure may be provided for at the rate of 250 kPa

applied to the face of dam over the anticipated area of

contact of ice with the face of dam.

The problem of ice pressure in the design of dam is not

encountered in India except, perhaps, in a few localities

Wave Pressure

The upper portions of dams are subject to the

impact of waves.

Wave pressure against massive dams of

appreciable height is usually of little consequence.

The force and dimensions of waves depend mainly

on the extent and configuration of the water surface,

the velocity of wind and the depth of reservoir water.

The height of wave is generally more important in

the determination of the free board requirements of

dams to prevent overtopping by wave splash.

An empirical method has been recommended by T.

Saville for computation of wave height hw (m), which

takes into account the effect of the shape of reservoir


and wind velocity over water surface rather than on

Earthquake Forces

An earthquake sets random vibrations (waves) in the

earth's crust, which can be resolved in any three mutually

perpendicular directions. This motion causes the structure

to vibrate.

The waves impart accelerations to the foundations

under the dam and causes its movement.

Acceleration introduces an inertia force in the body of

dam and sets up stresses initially in lower layers and

gradually in the whole body of the dam.

The vibration intensity of ground expected at any

location depends upon the magnitude of earthquake, the


depth of focus, distance from the epicentre and the strata on which the
structure stands
3.What factors you will keep in mind while selecting a suitable site for a dam reservoir?
SELECTION OF SITE FOR A DAM
It is almost impossible to select a perfect ideal reservoir site, but its selection is gide by the
following factors
1, a suitable dam site is available the cost of the dam is generally a controlling factor in the
selection of a reservoir site.
2, the geological formation for the reservoir bank walls etc. should be such as to entail minimum
lakege .
3, the geology of the catchment area should be such as to entail minimum water losses through
absorption and percolation .
4, the site should be such that a deep reservoir if formed. a deep reservoir is prefered to a shallow
one because of lower land cost per unit of capacity less evaporation loss and less possibility
of weed growth .
5, the reservoir site have adequate capacity.
6, Too mach silt laiden tributories should be avoided as for as possible.
7, the reservoir basin should have a deep narrow opening in the valley, so that the length of the
dam is minimum.
