Types of dams Tipos de barragens

Primary purpose of a dam Propósito inerente à construção de uma barragem

• May be defined as to provide for the safe retention and storage of water (capacidade de reter e armazenar água)

A corollary Colorário

• Every dam must represent a design solution specific to its site circumstances; the design therefore also represents an optimum balance of local technical and economic considerations at the time of construction (a solução de projecto de qualquer barragem é função do local de construção; deverá assim assentar num equilíbrio ótimo do ponto de vista técnico-económico à sua data da construção)

Types of dams Tipos de barragens

Classification according to their importance

Large dam - for the purpose of inclusion in the World Register of Dams, a large dam is defined as any dam:

above 15 meters in height (measured from the lowest point of foundation to top of dam) or

between 10 and 15 meters in height which meets at least one of the following conditions: • the crest length is not less than 500 meters • the capacity of the reservoir formed by the dam is not less than one million cubic meters

(106 m3) • the maximum flood discharge dealt with by the dam is not less than 2 000 cubic meters

per second (2000 m3/s) • the dam had specially difficult foundation problems • the dam is of unusual design

Small dam - any of those that do not fit into the classification of “large dam”.

Types of dams Tipos de barragens

Classification according to their main purpose Classificação de acordo com a sua finalidade principal

• Storage dams (Barragens para criar albufeiras ) Storage dams are used to store water for extended lengths of time. The stored water then can be used for irrigation, livestock, municipal water supply, recreation, and hydroelectric power generation. (visam permitir o armazenamento da água afluente em excesso em épocas húmidas para ser utilizada em períodos secos).

• Diversion dams (Barragens de derivação) Diversion dams are used to raise the water level in order to redirect the water to

the designated location. The diverted water can be used for supplying irrigation systems or reservoirs. (destinam-se a criar condições para captar água para canais ou condutas, para usos muito diversos, como o consumo público, a rega e a produção de energia elétrica, sem criar albufeiras de regularização).

Types of dams Tipos de barragens

Classification according to their main purpose Classificação de acordo com a sua finalidade principal

• Detention dams (Barragens de detenção) Detention dams are built to catch surface runoff to prevent floods and trap

sediment by regulating the flow rate of the runoff into channels downstream. (visam reter grande parte do material sólido afluente ou deter temporariamente as cheias, evacuando um caudal máximo compatível com a capacidade de transporte do leito existente a jusante e evitando a inundação de determinadas zonas. Estas barragens podem ainda ter dois objectivos em simultâneo).

• Multipurpose dams (Barragens de fins múltiplos) A multipurpose reservoir is a man-made lake which is managed for multiple

purposes (e.g., water supply, flood control, soil erosion, environmental, management, hydroelectric power generation, navigation, recreation, irrigation); the multipurpose nature of these facilities dictates that the agencies which manage them are responsible for balancing competing demands. (verifica-se a coexistência de diferentes objetivos, sem que a importância de qualquer deles se sobreponha).

Types of dams Tipos de barragens

Dams: focus points

Dams differ from all other major civil engineering structures in a number of important regards: Every dam, large or small, is quite unique; foundation geology, material characteristics,

catchment flood hydrology etc. are each site-specific;

Dams are required to function at or close to their design loading for extended periods;

Dams do not have a structural lifespan; they may, however, have a notional life for accounting purposes, or a functional lifespan dictated by reservoir sedimentation;

The overwhelming majority of dams are of earthfill, constructed from a range of natural soils; these are the least consistent of construction materials;

Dam engineering draws together a range of disciplines, e.g. structural and fluid mechanics, geology and geotechnics, flood hydrology and hydraulics, to a quite unique degree;

The engineering of dams is critically dependent upon the application of informed engineering judgement.

Concrete gravity dam It is entirely dependent upon its own mass for stability. The gravity profile is essentially triangular, to ensure stability and to avoid overstressing of the dam

or its foundation. Some gravity dams are gently curved in plan for aesthetic or other reasons, and without placing any

reliance upon action for stability. Where a limited degree of arch action is deliberately introduced in design, allowing a rather slimmer

profile, the term arch-gravity dam may be employed.

Buttress dam Structurally it consists of a continuous upstream face supported at regular intervals by downstream

buttresses. The solid head or massive buttress dam is the most prominent modern variant of the type, and may

be considered for conceptual purposes as a lightened version of the gravity dam.

Arch dam It has a considerable upstream curvature. Structurally it functions primarily as a horizontal arch, transmitting the major portion of the water

load to the abutments or valley sides rather than to the floor of the valley. It is structurally more efficient than the gravity or buttress dam, greatly reducing the volume of

concrete required. A particular derivative of the simple arch is the cupola or double-curvature arch dam. Abutment stability is critical to the structural integrity and safety of both the cupola and the simple

arch.

Earthfill embankment dam

An embankment in which compacted soils account for over 50% of the placed volume of material.

It is constructed primarily of selected engineering soils compacted uniformly and intensively in relatively thin layers and at a controlled moisture content.

Rockfill embankment dam

In the rockfill embankment the section includes a discrete impervious element of compacted earthfill or a slender concrete or bituminous membrane.

An embankment where over 50% of the fill material may be classified as rockfill, i.e. coarse-grained frictional material.

Modern practice is to specify a graded rockfill, heavily compacted in relatively think layers by heavy plant. The construction method is therefore essentially similar to that for the earthfill embankment.

Selection of the type of dam

The optimum type of dam for a specific site is determined by estimates of cost and construction programme for all design solutions which are technically valid.

Where site circumstances are such that viable alternatives exist it is important that options are kept open, assessing the implications of each with respect o resources, programme and cost, until a preferred solution is apparent.

It may also be necessary to take account of less tangible socio-political and environmental considerations in the determination of that solution.

Selection of the type of dam: some key considerations

Hydraulic gradient: the nominal value of hydraulic gradient, for seepage under, around and through a dam varies by at least one order of magnitude according to type. Notional values of gradient range from about 0.5 for a homogeneous embankment to 10 or more for a buttress or cupola dam. The ability of softer and weaker or more erodible foundations to resist high hydraulic gradients safely is very limited.

Selection of the type of dam: some key considerations

Foundation stress: nominal stresses transmitted to the foundation vary greatly with the dam type.

Embankment 1.8-2.1

Gravity 3.2-4.0

Buttress 5.5-7.5

Arch 7.5-10.0 1 dams 100 m in height.

Foundation deformability: certain types of dams are better able to accommodate foundation deformation and/or settlement without serious damage. The significance of excessive or non-uniform foundation deformability arises in relation to cracking and stress redistribution within the dam. The relative structural flexibility of a well-designed embankment dam will be advantageous.

Foundation excavation: economic considerations dictate that the excavation volume and foundation preparation should be minimized. The economic disincentive of excessive excavation, particularly in relation to a concrete dam, is self-evident.

Roller-compacted concrete (RCC)

Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) dams Barragem de betão compactado por cilindros (BCC)

Roller-compacted concrete, or RCC, takes its name from the construction method used to build it. It's placed with conventional or high-density asphalt paving equipment, then compacted with rollers.

Roller-compacted concrete has the same basic ingredient as conventional concrete: cement, water, and aggregates, such as gravel or crushed stone.

But unlike conventional concrete, it is a drier mix—stiff enough to be compacted by vibratory rollers. Typically, RCC is constructed without joints. It needs neither forms nor finishing, nor does it contain dowels 1 or steel reinforcing

These characteristics make roller-compacted concrete simple, fast, and economical. can accept limited differential settlement given relatively broad and plastic core

(1 short steel bars that provide a mechanical connection between slabs without restricting horizontal joint movement)
