Siphon Spillway Design
Siphon Spillway Design
(OP)
I am beginning the research/analysis phase of a dam retrofit project. The primary spillway (riser barrel) is severely corroded and will have to be replaced. One option that I am considering is a siphon-type spillway, but I don't have any reference material on the design, detailing and critical issues on a spillway of this type. Can anyone direct me to a good source of information on this subject?





RE: Siphon Spillway Design
Applied Hydraulics in Engineering by Morris and Wiggert has a good theoretical discussion of siphon spillways.

This reference covers many types of gates, spillways, and weirs and has textual guidance as well as design curves.

Good luck.
