Spillway Approach Embankement and Rip Rap Design
Spillway Approach Embankement and Rip Rap Design
(OP)
I am searching for information on how to design an upstream approach embankment for a spillway. Items I am trying to design are
Height and Length of Embankement from the center line of dam/spillway (Site is a local lake).
Selection/thickness of Rip Rap material.
Help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

height should be at the lake elevation during IDF
length should be to the point where the velocity in the approach channel is low
riprap design is the same as for any other channel. USBR and USACE have methods

Do you know of the example that I can follow.
