  Assessment of Dam

  By Birendra Kumar Singh, Mani Mohan

  Abstract: Stability of slope is the dominant parameter for construction of Dam. Slope gives bottom width. Morebottom width gives stability of dam. Normally, the bottom width of dam is taken as twice times of topwidth of dam (at least). Since maximum thrust of water is acting at bottom of dam (wh), where w = Unitweight of water (1000 Kg/m3), h = depth of water in meter, hence bottom width is taken …
