Abstract

Spillways are huge masonry structures constructed to discharge additional amount of water in needs and emergencies. It is also a measure to protect the structure from overtopping and failure. To achieve safety of the structure, the design of profile of the spillway plays a significant role. The forces that are generally possible on the spillway are as a consequence of change in pressures. This generates the necessity for estimation and understanding of pressures over the profile of the spillway. The present study was carried out to analytically estimate the pressures and compare them with the ANSYS-CFD simulation results. The analytical results estimated by the conventional equations were observed to have a fair agreement with the simulation results having a variation less than 2%.
