Abstract
Operating experience with spillways for dams has revealed problems of two types: (1) inadequate capacity and (2) unsatisfactory performance for design or less-than-design discharges. Particular items that appear to be most critical in the second area are identified and categorized in this chapter, and remedial measures are discussed. Chapter 20 covers the measures that are required for proper design.
