Earth Dams and Reservoirs
The Technical Release(TR) was developed to describe design procedures and present minimum requirements for planning and designing earth dams and associated spillways. The material is applicable to dams and reservoirs larger than ordinary farm ponds. The TR is intended for use of SCS engineers but the contents will be useful to engineers in other organizations. Hydrology requirements and data are presented for various type structures and for each of the three hazard classes. Geologic investigation requirements are covered including seismic assessments. Earth embankment and foundations are described including minimum factors of safety for embankment slope stability. Spillways are covered including hydraulic design, structural strength and stability of earth and vegetated spillways.
