How to Calculate Width of Elementary Gravity Dam?
Width of Elementary Gravity Dam calculator uses Base Width = Height of Elementary Dam/sqrt(Specific Gravity of Dam Material-Seepage Coefficient at Base of Dam) to calculate the Base Width, The Width of Elementary Gravity Dam formula is defined as the base width of a solid gravity dam being 25 m. The material of the dam has a specific gravity of 2.56 and the dam is designed as an elementary profile ignoring uplift. Base Width is denoted by B symbol.
How to calculate Width of Elementary Gravity Dam using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Width of Elementary Gravity Dam, enter Height of Elementary Dam (Hd), Specific Gravity of Dam Material (Sc) & Seepage Coefficient at Base of Dam (C) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Width of Elementary Gravity Dam calculation can be explained with given input values -> 25.35463 = 30/sqrt(2.2-0.8).
