Evacuateurs de surface
Surface spillways
Pierre JEHANNO SOGREAH/ARTELIA, Grenoble France
Experience on some existing projects, limites of standardized/normalized design, Some elements of design of spillways, presentation of some perculiar solutions.
Energy dissipation
Stilling basins (Jupia /Brsil, Nam Leuk /Laos) concrete apron (Vouglans /France, Orange River /RSA) plunge pool (Kariba /Zimbabwe, Katse/Lesotho) Dissipation on natural bed rock (Song Loulou/Cameroun, El Breck/Tunisie)
Reprsentation:
Use of transparent surface (Turwel, Katse), Painted layers at different depths (Katse), Use of cohesive material, in order to represent steep slope after scour (Agoyan)

note: Scour depths calculated by classical formulae give a depth very close to jump depths.
Advantages: Rduction of 12% stilling basin volume, Scouring 2 time less, Pressure fluctuations reduced by 50%, No more return currents downstream the basins, Certain aeration. Is contemplated if the head is > 4 times the critical head.
Q=6080 m3 /s Dam heigth: 185 m head: 160 m Adopted alternative: n3 (scouring reduced by 8 m)
Renforced stilling basin Mequinenza dam (Spania) (Q=11 000 m3 /s, head: 55 m)
Plunge pool + pre-excavation + dispersion teeths Sficifa dam (Tunisia) (Q= 1200 m3/s, head: 23 m)
Elavation
Kouris (Cyprus)

Large weir and pre-excaved pool Tucurui dam (Brazil) (Q= 110 000 m3/s, Q25= 52400 m3/s, dam head: 80 m)
