According to size of a Dam
Large damsSmall dams– According to International commission on Large
Dams, a dam is big if height is more than 15m.– According to ICOLD, if the height is between 10m-
15m the dams is big:• If the crest length is bigger than 500m• If the reservoir capacity is larger than 1 million m3
• If the flood discharge is more than 2000 m3/s

Gravity Dams
![Page 10: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Gravity dams are dams which resist the horizontal thrust of the water entirely by their own weight. They use their weight to hold back the water in the reservoir.
• The section of the gravity dam is approximately triangular in shape, with its apex at its top and maximum width at bottom.
• A gravity dam is generally straight in plan and, therefore, it is also called straight gravity dam.
• A gravity dam is made of concrete or masonry.
• It requires great quantities of material to construct.

![Page 15: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Arch Dam
![Page 16: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• An arch dam is curved in plan, with its convexity towards the upstream side. They transfers the water pressure and other forces mainly to the abutments by arch action.
![Page 17: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• An arch dam is quite suitable for narrow canyons with strong flanks.
• The section of an arch dam is approximately triangular like a gravity dam but the section is comparatively thinner.
• An arch dam is most suitable for narrow gorges.
• Since they are thinner than any other dam type, they require much less construction material, making them economical and practical in remote areas.
• The foundation or abutments for an arch dam must be very stable and proportionate to the concrete.
![Page 18: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• There are two basic designs for an arch dam:– constant-radius dams, which have constant radius
of curvature, and– variable-radius dams, which have both upstream
and downstream curves that systematically decrease in radius below the crest
• A dam that is double-curved in both its horizontal and vertical planes may be called a dome dam.

Arch-Gravity Dam
![Page 22: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• An arch-gravity dam, curved-gravity dam or arched dam is a dam with the characteristics of both an arch dam and a gravity dam.
• It combines the strengths of two common dam forms and is considered a compromise between the two.
• A gravity dam can be combined with an arch dam into an arch-gravity dam for areas with massive amounts of water flow but less material available for a purely gravity dam.

Buttress dams
![Page 25: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• A buttress dam or hollow dam is a dam with a solid, water-tight upstream side that is supported at intervals on the downstream side by a series of buttresses or supports.
• The dam wall may be flat or curved.
• In comparison with massive gravity dams, buttress dams save 40 percent and more in concrete and costs.

• A barrage dam is a special kind of dam which consists of a line of large gates that can be opened or closed to control the amount of water passing the dam.
• The gates are set between flanking piers which are responsible for supporting the water load.
• They are often used to control and stabilize water flow of rivers for irrigation systems.

Embankment Dams
![Page 32: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A dam composed of any type of soil including rock is known as embankment dams. These are classified into two main categories :
• Earth-fill dams• An earthfill dam is an embankment dam, constructed
primarily of compacted earth, either homogeneous or zoned, and containing more than 50% of earth.
• Rock-fill dams• An embankment type of dam, dependent for its stability
primarily on rock. • The earth utilized often contains a large percentage of
large particles hence the term rock-fill.
![Page 33: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Rock-fill Dam:
• An embankment consisting of various sizes of rock to provide stability and an impervious core of membrane to provide water-tightness.
• The impervious zone may be on the upstream face and
made of masonry, concrete, plastic membrane, steel sheet piles, timber or other material.
• The impervious zone may also be within the embankment in which case it is referred to as a core.

New Melones Dam, California, US
![Page 36: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Earthfill dams:.• Local available soil is the main construction material• It must be sufficiently impervious to prevent excessive
loss of water through the dam.
• The soil should develop a maximum practical shear strength under compaction and maintain most of it after the filling of the reservoir;
• It must not consolidate, soften or liquify upon saturation.
![Page 37: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Ranjit Sagar Dam, Punjab
![Page 38: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Types of Earthfill dams:
• Homogeneous earth dams• Non-Homogeneous (zoned) earth dams• Rolled fill earth dams• Hydraulic fill dam
![Page 39: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Homogeneous earth dams
• These dams are constructed with uniform and homogeneous materials. It is suitable for low height dams (up to 10m).
• The seepage action of such dams are not favourable, therefore, for safety in case of rapid drawdown, the upstream slope is kept relatively flat (3:1)
• Homogeneous section is modified by constructing rock toe at the downstream lower end and providing horizontal filter drain.
![Page 40: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Homogeneous earth dams
![Page 41: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Non-Homogeneous (zoned) earth dams
• These are dams with the central portions called core or hearting made from materials which are relatively impervious.
• The thickness of the core wall is made sufficiently thick to prevent leakage of water through the body of the dam.
![Page 42: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Rolled fill earth dams
• An embankment dam of earth or rock in which the material is placed in layers and compacted by the use of rollers or rolling equipment.
• In this type of dams, successive layers of moistened or damp soils are laid one over the other. Each layer not exceeding 20 cm in thickness is properly consolidated at optimum moisture content, only then is the next layer laid.
![Page 43: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Hydraulic Fill dams
• During construction, a mixture of excavated materials in slurry condition is pumped and discharged at the edges.
• When it is discharged near the outer edges, the coarser materials settle first at the edges, while the finer materials move to the middle and settle there.
• Fine particles are deposited in the central portion to form a water tight central core. In this method, compaction is not required.
![Page 44: Dams arvind gupta-12march13 (2)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5550318db4c9059f318b4eae/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Rubber Dam
• Inflatable rubber dams are cylindrical rubber fabrics placed across channels, streams and weir or dam crests to raise the upstream water level when inflated.
• The membrane is a multi-layer fabric made of synthetic fibre (usually nylon)and rubberised on one or both sides.
• The fabric is quite flexible and yet exhibits good wear-resistance characteristics

Environmental Issues:
• Dams disturb natural fluctuations in water flow• Dams block migratory fish species from their spawning
and feeding sites• Water quality can be degraded• The transport of sediment along the river is disrupted• Reservoirs can emit climate-changing greenhouse gases
