Flow Resistance and Design Guidelines for Embankment Stepped Chutes [PDF]
, 2005 Recently the design flows of many dams have been re-evaluated, resulting in spills often larger than the original ones. In many cases, occurrence of revised flows would result in dam overtopping because of insufficient storage and spillway capacity of ...

Gold Creek Dam and its Unusual Waste Waterway (1890-1997): Design, Operation, Maintenance [PDF]
, 1998 Completed in 1885, the Gold Creek dam is an earthen dam located on the outskirts of Brisbane, Australia. The spillway system was refurbished three times, each time to increase the maximum overflow capacity.

Flow Resistance in Skimming Flows and its Modelling [PDF]
, 2002 Dams and weirs must be equipped with adequate flood release facilities for a safe dissipation of the kinetic energy of the flow. With stepped spillway design, it is essential to predict accurately the flow resistance associated with the steps.
