| Abstract | Stepped spillways have become a good option in dams for ease of construction and especially to present a significant dissipation of energy throughout the spillway chute, which causes that the parcel of energy to be dissipated by hydraulic jump downstream of dam decreases, causing a significant reduction in the dimensions of the stilling basin structure. The application of end sill in stilling basins causes a better distribution of speeds and better behavior of the fluctuation of pressure along the basin and downstream, thus increasing their performance in energy dissipation. The combination of these two forms of dissipation (stepped spillway and stilling basin with end sill) can be used as an economical and safe solution, however, the sizing of these structures hindered by a lack of criteria and information, especially regarding the ideal size and position for design of an end sill. In this study the data mean pressures and pressure fluctuations within the basin and downstream of the end sill were analyzed, being presented methodologies for design the size and position of a sill as a function of the Froude number of the input of the hydraulic jump. A methodology for analysis of mean pressure in type I basin (without sill) is also being presented, and a comparison of the behavior of efforts in basin with and without end sill, with stepped spillway and flat spillway chute. The data were obtained in an experimental model built at the Laboratory of Hydraulic Works (LOH) at the Institute of Hydraulic Research (IPH-UFRGS), through pressure transducers attached at the bottom of the test channel for various flow rates, considering, in addition of type I basin, different sizes of end sill at different positions of the channel. |
