Design And Evaluation Of Stepped Spillways For High Dams, Jeffrey Scott Rau
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this research was to investigate the hydraulic performance of stepped spillways. A thorough investigation was made of all printed material on stepped spillways, and a summary of this material is presented in the text. Data from experiments in the laboratory were used to develop a design procedure for stepped spillways and hydraulic jump stilling basins. The experimental study was conducted at Utah State University - Utah Water Research Laboratory in Logan, Utah. Four models were built and tested in the laboratory under various flowrates.
The crest of the model spillway was constructed in the shape of a …
