Flexible Dams Inflated by Water
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 7
Abstract
An inflatable dam is a tube of flexible material inflated by water or air to impound water. The profile of the water inflated dam is obtained numerically. The relationships between the parameters that govern the shape of dam are presented in the form of charts.
