0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 15 December 196R t after the draft finalized by the Overflow Sections
and Other SpiUway Structures Sectional Committee had heen approved by
the Civil Engineering Division CounciL
0.2 The design of downstream protection works or en~y dissipators below
hydraulic structures occupies a vital pla.ce in the design and construction
of dams weirs and barrages. The problem of designing energy dissipators
is one essentially of reducing the high velocity flow to a velocity low
enough to minimize erosion of natural river bed. This reduction in
velocity may be accomplished by any or a combination of the following,
depending upon the head, discharge intensity, tail-water conditions and
the type of the bed rock or the bed material:
a) Hydraulic jump type stilling basins:
I) Horizontal apron type
2) Sloping apron type
b) Jet diffusion and free jet stilling basins:
1) Jet diffusion basins
2) Free jet stilling basins
3) Hump stilling basins
4-) Impact stiUing basins
c) Burket type dissipators.
I) Solid and slotted roller buckets
2,: Trajector)' buckets (ski.jump, flip, pte)
d) Intersecting jets and other special type of ~ti1liJ1g basins

4. HYDRAULIC JUMP TYPE STILLING BASIN WITH

HORIZONTAL APRON
4..1 Geaeral- When the tail-water rating curve approximately follows
the hyraulic jump curve or is only slightly above or below it, then hydraulic
jump type stilling basin with horizontal apron provides the best solution
for energy dissipation. In this case the requisite depth may be obtained
on a proper apron near or at the ground level so that it is quite economical,
For spillways on weak bed rock conditions and weirs and barrages on sand
or loos: gravel, hydraulic jump l~ pt.' stilling basins are recommended.

".2 CIamcadoD -- Hydraulic jump type stilling basin with horizoutal

apron may be classified into the following two categories:

a) Stilling basins in which thr Frnude number of the incoming flow is

less than 4'0. This cast' is generally encountered on weirs and
barrages. This basin will be hereafter called as Basin I.

b) Sti11j)l~ basins in which the Fronde number of the incoming flo,",

is greater than 4'5. This I ase is a gt"nE'ral feature for dams. This

4.3.1 Factors involved in the desigr. of 5timn~ basins include the deter-
mination of the elevation of the basin fIoor, the basin len~th and basin
appurtenances, ifany.
4.3.2 Ddtrmin.i,.g Eler:ation of tit, Basin Floor - Knowing H and q; DCI DI
and D. can be determined either from the following formulz or from
Fig. 1:
H, = (Da- VI)' / 4 DI D.

D. := _ !JJ + A. / ~ql + .!
2 'V u,g 4
Having obtained D] and D'1' the elevation of the basin floor may be
calculated by either dedurting the specific energy at section 1-1 from the
total energy line at that section or that at section 2-2 from the downstream
total energy line.
4.3.3 To calculate H L from the known upstream and downstream total
energy lines, the following procedure may be adopted:
a) Where the basin is directly downstream from the crest or where,
the chute is not longer than the hydraulic head, H L may be assu-
med equal to the difference in the upstream and downstream total
energy lines.
b) Where the chute length exceeds the hydraulic head, DI should be
first determined by taking H L equal to the difference between the
upstream and downstream total energy lines. Next calculate
friction losses in the chute by ~fanning's formula and determine
the more accurate value of 1fr. and consequently that of DI . The
process may be repeated till-the desired accuracy is achie v ed.
4.3.4 Basin 1- Requirements for basin length, depth and appurtenances
for Basin I are given in 4.'.4.1 and 4.32.
4.3.4.1 Basin ~engtlr anddepth - Length of the basin may be determined
from the curve given in Fig. 8 A. The basin will be provided with an
end sm preferably dentated one. In the boulder reach the sloping face of
the end sill will be kept on the upstream side. Generally. the basin floor
should not be raised above the level required fmm sequent depth considera-
tion. If the raising of the floor becomes obligatory due to site conditions I
the same should not exceed 15 percent of D. and the basin in that case
should be further supplemented by chute hlocks and basin blocks.
The basin blocks should not be used if the velocity of flow at the location
of basin blocks exceeds 15mls and in that case the ftoor of the basin should
be kept at a depth equal [0 DI below the tail-water level. TIle tail-water
depth should not generally exceed 1Upercent of D.

b) BtJSi" biock.r- The height of basin blocks in terms of D1 may be
obtained from Fig. 9B. The width and spacing of the basin
blocks should be equal to their height, The upstream face of all
the basin hlocks shan be vertical and in one plane. A half space
is recommended adjacent to the walls. The upstream face of the
basin blocks should be set at a distance of 0'8 D 1 from the down..
stream face of the chute blocks.

c) End sill - The height of the dentated end sill is recommended as

0'2 Dlo The maximum width and spacing of dents shall be
according to Fig. 8B. A dent is recommended adjacent to each
side wall. In the case of narrow basin, it is advisable to reduce
the width and spacing but in the same proportion. It is not
necessary to stagger the end sill dents with reference to chute
blocks.

4.3.5 Ba.rin 11- Requirements for basin length depth and appurtenances
for Basin II are given in 4.3.5.1 and 4.3.5.2.

4.3.5.1 Basin length and fhpth - Length of the basin will be determined
from the curve given in Fig. 9A. The basin should be provided with
chute blocks and end sill. The maximum raising of the basin floor shall
not exceed 15 percent of D. and the basin in that case will be further
supplemented by basin blocks. However, when the flow velocity at the
location of basin blocks exceeds 15 m/s, no basin blocks are recommended
and in that case the floor of the basin should be kept at a depth equal to
D. below the tail-water level. The tail-water depth should not generally
exceed 10 percent of D.,.

".3.5.2 Basin appurtenances - Requirements for basin appurtenances,

such as chute blocks, basin blocks and end sill are given below (SH
Fig. 9B):

a) Chutt blocks - The height, width and spacing of the chute blocks
should be kept equal to DJ The width and spacing may be
varied to eliminate fractional blocks. A space equal to D J/2 is
preferable alcng each wall.
b) Basin blocks - The height of basin blocks in terms of 1)] can be
obtained from Fig. 9B. The width and spacing should be kept
three-fourth of the height. These- should be placed at distance of
U-S D" downstream from the chute blocks.

slnpJIIR apron should be ptlI(.J'rE'rJ as it would allow an efficient jump to be
formed at vuitable It'\cl on the sloping apmn.
5.2 Classification - ThE.' hydraulic Jump on a sloping apron may occur in
four different Iorrns depending 011 the- tail-water conditions {:I"ig. 10).
The ac non m cases C and D IS same if it ic; assumed that horizontal fluor
hegins at the end of the jump in case D. Case B is virtually case A ope-
ratin~ with excessive tail-water depth. Case A has been dealt with
previously in 4. [21 the subsequent pali\'i criteria will he gi... t'll fur the
desiun of stilling' basms f;)r cases [) and R hereafter know n as Basin III and
Basin IV respectively,
5.2.1 Basin II I is recommended for the case where tail-water curve is
higher than the D, curve at all discharges.
5.3.2 Basin IV is suitable for the case where the tail-water depth at
maximum discharge exceeds lJ.. considerably but is equal to 01 slightly
greater than D. at lower discharges.
5.3 De Criteria
5.3.1 It is not possible to stand irdize design criteria for sloping aprons
to the same extent as in the case of horizontal apron. In this cast', greater
individual judgme-nt is required. The slope and overall shape of the
apron are determined from economic consideration, the length be-ing jud-
ged by the type and soundness of the- river b ..d downstream. The follow-
ing design cnteria should serve only a50 a guide in proportioning the slopin,l{
apron designs.
5.3.2 Basin Ill-In the design of Basin III, the foUowing procedure may
be adopted:
a! Assume a certain level at which the front of jump will form for
the maximum tail-.....ates depth and discharge.
b) Determine D 1 from the known upstream total energy hne by
appJyill~ Bernoulli", theorem and calculate Fl. Then find nut

or in excess of the conjugate depth fOT the intermediate discharges,
the design is acceptable. If not, a flatter s~.)pt' at lower apron
level mould be tried. or Basin IV may be adopted.
f) The basin should be supplemented by a solid or dentated end sill
of height equal to 0'05 to 0'2 D, with an upstream slope of 2 : I
to 3: l.
5.3.3 Basi" li' - In the' design of Basin IV ~ thl"' following procedure may
bp adopted:
a) Determine the discharge at which the tail-water depth is most
deficient.
b) For the above discharge, determine the level and length of the
apron on the basis of criteria given in -t.
(') Assume a certain level at which the front of jump will form for the
maximum tail-water depth and discharge. .
d) Determine D a fronJ the known upstream total energy line by
applying Bernoulli's theorem and calculate Fl. Then find out
t"OJljugate depth D2, from equation given in 3.3.
e) Determine a suitablt" slope (by trial and error) so that the- available
tail-water depth matches the required conjugate depth n'l deter-
mined from Fig. 6.
r) Detennine the length of the jump for the above slope from Fig. 3.
If the-sum of the lengths of inclined portion and horizontal portion
is equal to about 60 percent of the jump length, the design is
acceptable. Ifnot, fresh trials may be done by changing the level
of the upstream end of the jump formation.
g) The basin should be suppJemented by a solid or dentated end liU
of height 0'05 to 0-2 D, and upstream slope of 2 : 1 to 3: 1.
