Question Paper
What is meant by a reservoir? Discuss briefly the different types of reservoirs and the purpose served by each type.
What types of dams could be selected for the following sites Justify your answers with reasons.
A wide gorge with good foundation
A narrow deep gorge with strong abutments
A gorge with weak foundation but with abundant availability of material locally
A gorge in hilly terrain with poor access
How do waves affect the stability of a dam How do you compute the wave pressure?
Discuss how you will proceed for consolidation grouting in a fractured rock foundation.
What is an arbitrary section of a gravity dam and how would you design one such section?
What are the types of failures of earth dams?
How will you test the stability of an earth dam constructed of soils?
What is a rule curve for a reservoir Illustrate with an example.
Draw a neat layout of Diversion head-works and indicate various components of the system. Briefly indicate the function of each component.
Why is it necessary to control silt entry in the canal What methods are adopted for the purpose?
What are the criteria for safety against uplift pressure in case of weirs founded on permeable foundations Write an expression for the thickness of floor in terms of residual head and the specific gravity of the material of the floor.
Discuss the Slope-Area method for determining stream flow.
"The profile of an ogee spillway is made in accordance with the shape of the lower nappe of a free falling jet." Explain the statement.
Explain energy dissipation arrangement for the following two cases:
T.W.C. coincides with H.J.C.
T.W.C. is always above H.J.C.
