SIDE CHANNEL SPILLWAY

SPILLWAY
Spillway : One of the most important structural component of a
01 dam

Spillway evacuates the flood wave from reservoir to river


02 at the downstream

For safety, spillways should have sufficient capacity to discharge


03 floods, likely to occur during the lifetime of the dam.

Spillway Design Flood (SDF) can be selected using some


04 prescribed guidelines or from a risk-based analysis.

05 It is normally composed of three major components

DEFINITION

• Side Channel Spillway is an overflow structure where the side


channel is positioned sideways to the flow control channel on its
upstream (Sosrodarsono, 1989:190).

• The flow that crosses the side spillway structure, as if divided into
two levels with two energy absorbers, namely the first is located at
the end of the regulator channel called the side channel and the
second is the energy damper at the end of the spillway.

• Requirements that need to be considered in this type of overflow


structure is that the flood discharge that passes through it, does
not cause the flow to sink the dam (submerged & low) on the
regulating channel, then the side channel is made quite low against
the dam.
COEFFICIENT OF OVERFLOW DISCHARGE

The Formula used to calculate the overflow discharge is as follow :

Where :
Q = Discharge (m3/sec)
C = Coefficient
B = Effective width (m)
H = total water pressure above the overflow crest (m)
COEFFICIENT OF OVERFLOW DISCHARGE

The Coefficient run-off in the weir as usually affected :


1. Water depth in the flow channel
2. Upstream slope of the weir
3. Height of the water above the weir
4. The different between the height of the plan in the flow control
channel
(Sosrodarsono, 1989:181)

EFFECTIVE SPILLWAY WIDTH
When water overflows across an overflow crest, there is a flow control on both the
overflow and the sidewalls around the pillars built above the overflow crest,

so that the effective width of an overflow is smaller than the overall width of the actual
overflow

and discharge of the water that crosses the displaced spillway is always based on the
width of the effective, that is from the actual width reduction result with the sum of all
contraction arising in the flow of water that crosses the spillway
(Sosrodarsono, 1989:190)

SIDE CHANNEL SPILLWAYS (1/2)

• Discharge characteristics of a side channel spillway are similar to those of


an ordinary overflow spillway and are dependent on the selected of the
weir crest. However, for maximum discharges the side channel flow may
differ from that of the overflow spillway in that the flow in the trough may
be restricted and may partly submerge the flow over the crest.

• A Maximum of two-thirds submergence at the upstream end of the


channel can be tolerated, the maximum water surface level in the channel
will be 2/3H above the crest

• The slope of the channel profile is arbitrary; however a relatively flat slope
will provide greater depths and lower velocities and, consequently, will
ensure better intermingling of flows at the upstream end of the channel
and avoid the possibility of accelerating or supercritical flows occurring in
the channel for smaller discharge.

For the side channel trough, a


trapezoidal section with ½:1 side
slope is usually implemented.
