Description: Designing with RCC has now been made easier. This manual details all the design issues one should consider for RCC spillways and overtopping protection for existing dams. Discussions cover such topics as geotechnical considerations, seepage and filters, hydraulics of crest controls, mix designs, and construction means and methods. Numerous typical sections and design details are shown for aprons, chutes, training walls, and stilling basins. More than 85 color photos, figures, graphs, and tables highlight past projects and construction details. An example project directs the user through each step of the design process showing calculations, assumptions, and final design selections.
