Energy dissipation down a stepped spillway with nonuniform step heights [PDF]
, 2011 Although most stepped spillway-design guidelines were developed for uniform step heights, a nonuniform stepped design might be a practical alternative in some cases.

Designing Roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams
, 2018 Concrete is the most common building material in the world and it consists of aggregates,cement and water that harden over time, it is also known as a composite material. The use ofconcrete is very versatile due to its resistance to wind and water and its ability to withstandhigh temperature.

A Case Study On Zoning And Construction Of Roller-Compacted-Concrete Gravity Dams
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 In order to make full use of the concrete strength, reduce the amount of cementitious materials and simplify the temperature control measures, a roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam needs to be zoned reasonably in consideration of locations and working ...

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 ...
