Design of Anchored Slabs in Spillway Stilling Basins
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 126, Issue 7
Abstract
This paper characterizes the temporal behavior of uplift force generated by turbulent pressure fluctuations in spillway stilling basins. Theoretical and experimental analyses are presented that define the magnitude and temporal evolution of the maximum uplift acting on the lining of such basins. Analyses for the dynamic behavior of anchored floor slabs are also investigated. It is concluded that the applicability of the equivalent thickness criterion based on the balance of the forces acting on the slabs in static condition is unsafe for anchored slabs, because this criterion yields an inadequate area for the anchor steel. The results lead to a recommendation to double the area of anchor steel as computed by the equivalent thickness criterion for the design of slabs in stilling basins.
