(2) What is meant by gravity dam? What are the main points to be considered while selecting a site for a gravity dam construction? Determine the dimensions of the elementary profile of a low-gravity dam.
3. Enumerate the different methods which may be used for designing the canal transition for flumed canal and conditions under which can be used. Describe in detail a method of designing canal transitions when water depth may or may not remain constant.
4. For an elementary profile of a dam, the data available are the following:
Limiting height of a masonry dam – 90 m
Weight of masonry 2400 kg/m³ Uplift intensity factor = 0.67
Factor of safety = 2.0
Specific weight of water = 9810 N/m³
Determine safe limiting stress ignoring uplift and also determine H and bottom width when uplift intensity factor and factor of safety are given.

(b) Write short notes on the following:
(i) Permanent wilting point
(ii) Ultimate wilting point
(iii) Ogee spillway
(iv) Culturable command area
(v) Volute siphon spillway
(vi) Barrage
(vii) Silt excluder
8. Design an ogee spillway for a concrete gravity dam for the following data:
Slope of d/s face of gravity dam = 0.75:1
Average riverbed level = 250.0 m
RL of spillway crest = 350 m
Design discharge 6500 cumecs Length of spillway = 5 spans with a clear length of 9 m each
The thickness of each pier = 2 m
9. In farmland irrigated by a system of pumps from wells, the area irrigated is 50 hectares. Water pumped from wells is conveyed through a canal to the farms. The efficiency of water conveyance is 85% and pumps work at 12 hours/day. The available moisture-holding capacity of the soil is 20 cm per meter depth and the average root zone depth is 1 m. Water application efficiency is 80%. Irrigation is started when a moisture extraction level of 50% of available moisture is reached. The peak rate of moisture used by plants is 5 mm. Calculate the irrigation period in days and the total pumping capacity required in liter/minute.
