Abstract
Dam is a solid barrier constructed at a suitable location across a river valley to store flowing water. For flow of water dissipation, we provide baffle block to upstream and downstream side, In Downstream side (from spillway) providing for energy dissipation and Upstream side to reduce the velocity of water. Baffle block is described as to control of flow of water or number of normally identical elements arranged in one or several rows orientated perpendicular or inclined to the direction of flow to direction of dam structure. Baffle blocks are providing to upstream ,for prevention of Hydraulic Failure, seepage Failure, Structure Failure, To prevent direct impact of water on dam structure, Maintenance of dam can be easy, Prevention of obstacles like fish ,animal body ,etc. , To save the life, prevention of flood, Durability of dam, we can provide maximum height of dam for future plan, strength of dam increases because of baffle blocks, Maintenance cost reduce, pressure like Uplift pressure, Wave pressure, Silt pressure, Wind pressure, etc. will reduce , Total forces of water is in inclined direction. Construction of dam is very costly but once, it takes long time for construction as compared to other dam.
