Anatomy of Dams: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:43, 2 June 2022

Dams are complex structures that vary due to varying site conditions, intended purposes, anticipated loading conditions, among other factors. Despite the wide range of design considerations among dams of all types, there are a few common key functions that the majority of dams must perform adequately.

Types of Water Conveyance
- Outlet Works
- Gates/Bulkheads
- Spillways
- Penstocks
