Abstract
Dimensionless analytical solutions for three types of dam breach sections, namely, rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal, are presented. Both linear and nonlinear formulations are considered. Throughout the analysis, the reservoir surface area, A s , is assumed to remain constant. Also, the value of the exponent β in Equation (5.10) of Chapter 5 is taken as 0.5.
