Q. What is the suggested slenderness ratio for simply supported RCC decks?

View solution

Q. What is the suggested economic buttress spacing for a mean dam height of greater than 45 m?

View solution

Q. The buttresses of a free deck buttress dam are provided at ‘x’ m clear spacing and buttress thickness is proposed to be ‘t’ m. The buttress section can then be designed like the section of a concrete gravity dam by considering the effective unit weight of water = Surcharge factor (S) x actual unit weight of water. The value of this surcharge factor is given as _____________
