    HYDRAULICS

    By: ENGR. MARIA YSABELLA MOSCOSO


    4 DAMS
    DAMS are built for the purpose of impounding water. Dams subjected to
    water pressure on the upstream side are analyzed by considering only
    one meter strip of the dam.

    GRAVITY DAMS
    a type of dam that uses gravity to resist the water pressure in
    the dam.

    USES OF DAMS

    1. Irrigation
    2. Storage of Water
    3. Generate Electricity
    4. Increase depth of waterways
    5. Recreational

    OVERTUNING MOMENT
    RESISTING MOMENT
    It is the resultant moment
    It is a moment of the toe of

    the dam that counteracts
    of the dam in toe.
    the overturning moment.

    F1 and U are the F2, W1, W2 and W3


    overturning forces. are the resisting
    forces.
