Geological factors in spillway terminal structure design
Abstract Fourteen spillways designed or operated by the Water Resources Commission of New South Wales were studied with respect to the geological, topographic and operational factors which influence the type of terminal structure provided. In the case of frequently operating spillways of moderate head and moderate unit discharge at design flood, unlined or partially lined spillways with no provision for energy dissipation can be constructed in durable, lowly stressed rock with R.Q.D. generally greater than 75% and erodible seams generally absent. Full energy dissipators are required in rock with R.Q.D. generally less than 50% and erodible seams generally present.
