Discussion on the problems of general layout, flood discharge and energy dissipation for high arch dam

XU Gen-hai

Abstract

In this paper, problems of general layout, flood discharge and energy dissipation for high arch dam are discussed according to the types of arch dam, conditions of dam construction, flood discharge demand and choosing of energy dissipator. High arch dam is classified into two categories: high gravity-arch dam and high double-curvature (thin) arch dam. Merits and demerits of different general layout and energy dissipators are discussed respectively.
