Abstract:: ... Design procedures for hydraulic structures such as stepped chutes depend on data from physical model studies. While designers have turned to computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models in recent years as a cost saving, data from physical models are often necessary to provide engineers confidence in CFD models. For decades, researchers worldwide have examined non-aerated and aerated flow conditions in ...

Abstract:: ... Stilling basins are commonly used as energy dissipators for structural chutes. Classical research conducted by scientists of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) led to the development of design criteria for a variety of stilling basin configurations as the outlet works for smooth chutes, but little is known about the performance of these dissipators when paired with stepped chutes. Research at ...

Abstract:: ... Retrofitting embankment dams with stepped spillways has become a common design practice. particularly for those dams that change hazard classification from low to high. For embankment dams retrofitted with stepped spillways, the chute length is often insufficient for developing aerated flow or and inception point. The inception point is a key spillway design parameter used in energy dissipation, f ...

Abstract:: ... The story of the USDA Small Watershed Program began seventy-five years ago when the U.S. was experiencing years of drought followed by years of flooding. The Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1944 and the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1954 set the stage for one of the most successful conservation programs in U.S. history. The Program established the principle of combining conservat ...

Abstract:: ... Hazard classifications for many earthen embankment dams have changed due to shifting demographics surrounding the structures. Originally designed to protect agricultural land, these embankments are now surrounded by residential communities and other infrastructure. To meet federal and state dam safety regulations as set by the new hazard classification, dam rehabilitation is often required. The US ...

Abstract:: ... Roller compacted concrete (RCC) stepped spillways are growing in popularity for providing overtopping protection for aging watershed dams with inadequate auxiliary spillway capacity and for the construction of new dams. Site conditions, such as limited right-of-way, topography, and geological formations, often dictate that these spillways converge. Convergence increases the flow depth near the tra ...

Abstract:: ... Tests made to determine the effect of high tailwater and long duration flows on scour downstream of the straight drop spillway are described in this paper. Results are presented on performance with the standard design basin, the basin with a nappe-shaped weir crest, and basins with rounded abutments at the entrance to the stilling basin. The basins with the rounded abutments performed best and the ...
