During our project duration we were assigned to the project on Spillway.There were we are
study about the spillway and check the various construction of the spillway working going on.
Spillway are safety device on dam. A spillway structure which constructed at near the dam site to
dispose surface of water from the reservoir to the channel downstream.
Spillway :
1. Introduction to Spillway.
2. Types of Spillway
3. Purpose
4. Effects of Construction.
The objectives and procedures of the Cooperative Spillway. Demonstration Project by the Board
of Water Engineers and the Department ofCivil Engineering at the University, the following
report on model spillway studies is presented.
The construction of a dam or other project for control of water generallyinvolves large expense.
In order to reduce the construction and maintenance toa minimum, it has been found that study
and research are necessary. Such workrequires adequate topographic work, preparation
sometimes of many alternativeplans, and study of the effect of the flow on the structure when
relief facilities,such as spillways and outlet works, actually begin to operate.The use of models of
the spillways, channels, and other facilities, builton a small scale of from 30 to 1 to 120 to 1, is in
general use by many organizations.
It is believed the work on the models for the Hicks and Pure Oil projects has been excellent, and
will be of great benefit to indicate desirableconstruction features for appurtenant spillways for
impounding reservoirs, andhow money to pay for such appurtenances can be best expended.
Continued studyof models of other structures will permit even more balanced design and
construction and result in additional saving of funds.

4. Chute Spillway
6. Siphon Spillway
7. Labyrinth Spillway
A Straight drop spillway consists of low height weir wall having its downstream face roughly or
perfectly vertical. When the water level in the reservoir rises above the normal pool level, the
surplus water falls freely from the crest of the weir and hence it is known as Straight drop
spillway or free overfall spillway.
2. Ogee Spillway
Ogee spillway, as the name says, represents the shape of the downstream face of the weir. It is an
improved form of a straight drop spillway. In this case, the downstream face of the weir is
constructed corresponding to the shape of lower nappe of freely falling water jet which is in ogee
shape.
A Shaft spillway is a type of spillway which consists of a vertical shaft followed by a horizontal
conduit. The surplus water enters into the vertical shaft and then to the horizontal conduit and
finally reaches the downstream of the channel.
4. Chute Spillway
Chute spillway is a type of spillway in which surplus water from upstream is disposed to the
downstream through a steeply sloped open channel. It is generally constructed at one end of the
dam or separately away from the dam in a natural saddle in a bank of the river.
Side channel spillway is similar to chute spillway but the only difference is the crest of side
channel spillway is located on one of its sides whereas crest of chute spillway is located between
the side walls. In other words, the water spilling from the crest is turned to 90 degrees and flows
parallel to the crest of side channel spillway unlike in chute spillway
6. Siphon Spillway
A labyrinth spillway is a type of spillway in which the weir wall is constructed in a zigzag
manner in order to increase the effective length of the weir crest with respect to the channel
width. This increase in effective length raises the discharge capacity of the weir and hence higher
water flow at small heads can be conveyed to the downstream easily.
3. Purpose of Spillway :
The purpose of the tests was to study the hydraulic characteristics of the Kuhn dam and
appurtenances under flow conditions commensurate with a head of 5.5 feet above the top of the
dam. The determination of the assumed head is the result of calculations by W0 0- Leach of
Coleman, Texas, engineer of the proposed dam. In particular, tests were conducted to determine
the erosion and scouring effects on natural ground or compacted fill due to the action of stream
flow at various velocities0 Available facilities prohibited the testing of the structural soundness
of the dam
Many failures of dams have resulted from improperly designed spillway or spillways of
inadequate capacity. Properly designed structure of adequate capacity may be found to be only
moderately higher in cost than a structure of inadequate capacity.
For example, incase of narrow valley dams, side or chute channel spillway is very seldom
possible, because of steepness of banks and their insufficient stability.
3.Type of dam
The type of dam influences the design flood and spillway. Earth and rockfill dams have to be
provided with ample spillway capacity.
The ungated spillway should be provided, except in special circumstances when gated spillway
may be provided.
