    Lecture 1.2 Features of Dam

    Uploaded by

    Chanako Dane
    Dams are structures built across rivers to impound water and form reservoirs. They have key components like the dam body, spillways, outlets, and abutments. Dams evolved from early gravity structures to modern designs using materials like earth, steel, and concrete. Dams are classified based on size, purpose, and construction material. Common classifications include gravity, arch, buttress, earthfill, and concrete dams.

    CLASSIFICATION OF DAMS

     Based on Size
     Based on function
     Based on material used
    CLASSIFICATION BASED ON
    PURPOSE
     Hydro-electric dam
     Irrigation dam

     Water supply dam for city for the purposes of drinking


    Single purpose

    water, recreation, navigation thro canals, industrial use.


     Flood Control

     Habitat dam for fishes & wild life

     Effluent containing dams from industry, mine, factory

    etc.

     Multi-purpose dam: designed for serving


    combination two or more of above purpose at a
    time
    CLASSIFICATION BASED ON
    MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION
    Concret

     Gravity
     Archand Buttress
    e

     Masonry
    Embankment

     Earth Dam
     Rock fill Dam
     Composite Dam

     Based on service time


     Permanent
     temporary
    CLASSIFICATION BASED ON:

    configuration & Way to resist imposed force


     Gravity: Earth, rock fill concrete & buttress
    • Arch: transfer the imposed force to adjacent
    rock wall on either side of the canyon
