Module 1
Dams: definitions – classifications – factors governing the selection of the type of dam and site of the dam- investigation for a dam site. Gravity dam: forces acting – combination of forces for design – modes of failure and stability requirements – elementary profile and practical profile – principal and shear stress – base width of elementary profile by stress and stability criteria-stresses developed in the elementary profile – low dam and high dam – methods-of design of gravity darn (introduction only) – joints – keys water stops – opening and galleries and shaft – foundation treatment – brief description on type of spill ways.
