APPENDIX D

Design stresses, unit loadings, and stability factors:

Spillway and Outlet Works

The stability factors, loadings, and stresses used in the design of various components of the spillway and outlet works were as follows:

[blocks in formation]

Design of all concrete structures was based on concrete of 3,000 pounds per square inch compressive strength at 28 days and a modular ratio of 10. Allowable working stresses in pounds per square inch for all concrete structures except pressure and horseshoe conduits, for which other steel tension and concrete compressive stresses were used under certain loading conditions, are indicated below:

[blocks in formation]

Allowable values for shear, bond, bearing, anchorage, etc., were used as specified in section 878 of the "ASCE Recommended Practice and Standard Specifications for Concrete and Reinforced Concrete, 1940 edition.

Dry backfill to top of wall; chute empty.

Backfill at elevation 3058.5, dry above elevation 3057 and saturated below elevation 3057; water surface in chute according to a jump profile for a discharge of 200,000 second-feet; uplift because of saturated backfill to elevation 3057 on back of wall and water level of jump profile on front of wall.

Dry backfill to elevation 3058. 5; basin empty.

Dry backfill above elevation 3038 and saturated
backfill below elevation 3038; water in basin at
elevation 3038.

Backfill to elevation 3058.5, saturated below elevation 3057; water surface elevation 3038 in channel; uplift because of backfill saturated to elevation 3057 on back of wall and to water in channel at elevation 3038.
