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: 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: 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. 1/ By equivalent fluid pressure theory. APPENDIX D (Continued) Allowable steel tension and concrete compressive stresses, in pounds per square inch, for conduits are as follows: APPENDIX D (Continued) High-Pressure Gate The allowable unit stresses, in pounds per square inch, and the factor of safety used in the high-pressure gate design are as follows: APPENDIX E Assumed loadings, computed foundation pressures and sliding factors for spillway walls: 0.32 With uplift considerations Dry backfill to top of wall; reservoir empty. 4,400 Left inlet wall Upper chute counterfort walls Dry backfill to top of wall; reservoir empty. 5, 500 0.42 Dry backfill to top of walls; chute empty. Chute cantilever walls Stilling basin walls 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 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. |
