Freeboard Criteria and Guidelines for Computing Freeboard Allowances for Storage Dams
This document presents Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) policy pertaining to freeboard allowances for storage dams. Freeboard is provided to prevent overtopping of the dam crest by waves. Freeboard also provides an additional measure of safety of the dam to account for the uncertainties in accurately estimating reservoir water surfaces and wave heights, and uncertainties in reservoir operation and structure performance. This memorandum contains information on the many considerations that are required for freeboard analysis as well as methods to account for these considerations and perform the analysis.
