In order to reduce the leads for carrying excavated earth, the borrow pits should be as close to the dam site as possible. To reduce erosion due to flow of rain water horizontal berms may be provided at suitable intervals in the downstream face. Ripraps may be provided on the entire upstream slope and on the downstream slope near the toe so as to prevent erosion. Such critical conditions occur for the upstream slope during sudden downstream of the reservoir and for the downstream slope during steady seepage under full reservoir. So under this critical condition the embankment slopes must remain safe. Thank you. Kindly check your email and confirm the same to receive your free ebook.He is the founder of The Constructor.

The design of different components of earthen dam has been narrated in this paper. This will help in better understanding of design of dams and dam failures. Definition: A dam exceeding 15m in height above deepest river bed level is defined as large dam. A dam not satisfying the above criterion of large dam is termed as Small dam.http://xn--e1aazeoc7d.xn--p1ai/images/shared/creating-a-board-of-directors-manual.xml

An earthen dam may be homogeneous or zoned type. The purely homogeneous type of section, has now been replaced by a modified homogeneous section, in which small amount of carefully placed pervious material control the action of seepage so as to permit much steeper slopes as compared to pure homogenous dam. (Fig. 1). It is desirable to provide positive cut off. Where this is not possible, partial cut off with or without upstream impervious blanket may be provided. In any case, adequate drainage arrangements may be provided on the down stream. The following guidelines may be adopted for design of cut off. Impervious soils are generally suitable for the core (IS 1498 -1970). Following guidelines are recommended for design of core. The relatively pervious materials, which are not subjected to cracking on direct exposure to atmosphere, are suitable for casing. Top width of dam should be provided as 4.5 m (minimum). The berms may be provided for the dam, which are more than 10 m in height. Minimum berm width may be kept as 3 m. The measures commonly adopted for safe disposal of seepage water through embankment dams are; Inclined or vertical filter is provided just on down stream slope of core. Its thickness is kept minimum as 1.0 metre. The standard filter criterion between filter and adjoining soil (casing or foundation) should be satisfied.In case of dam portions, where the head of water is 3 m or less it is not required to provide chimney filter or horizontal filter. Adequate toe protection shall however be provided. The height of rock toe is generally provided as 0.2 H, where H is the height of embankment. However minimum height of rock toe be kept as 1.0 metre. Rock toe is not necessary where height of embankment is 3 m or less. The section of toe drain should be adequate enough to carry seepage. The bed of toe drain should be given a suitable slope to lead the seepage to natural drains. Depth of toe drain is usually provided as 1.http://commonwealthsportsawards.com/userfiles/creating-a-desk-reference-manual.xml5 m with bottom width of 1 m minimum and side slopes of 1:1.For details IS 9429-1980 be referred. The filter material should satisfy the following criteria with the base material: The following criteria must be fulfilled. The suffix 'f' stands for the filter material and 'b' for the base material. 15, 50, 85 percent particles, by weight, respectively are finer than D15, D50 and D85 particle size. For design of riprap, IS 8237-1985 may be referred. A minimum of 300 mm thick riprap over 150 mm thick filter layer may be provided upto the top of dam. Downstream slope: The down stream slope protection is ensured by turfing or riprap. It is usual practice to protect the down stream slope from rain cuts by providing suitable turfing on the entire downstream slope from top to toe. For details of downstream slope protection, IS 8237-1985 may be referred. The section of drain may be trapezoidal having depth of 30 cm. For details please refer IS 8237-1985. Where no berm has been provided, the open paved drains (chutes) should terminate in the downstream rock toe or toe drain. The impervious blanket shall be connected to the core of the dam. To avoid formation of crack, the material should not be highly plastic. Reference may be made to IS: 1498-1970 for suitability of soils for blanket. (Table 2) A 300mm thick layer of random material over the blanket is recommended to prevent cracking due to exposure to atmosphere. The impervious blanket may be designed in accordance with IS: 8414-1977. As a general guideline, impervious blanket with a minimum thickness of 1.0 metre and a minimum length of 5 times the maximum water head measured from upstream toe of core may be provided. The minimum free board of 1.5m should be provided. General guidelines and the recommended slopes are given in Table 1 for guidance of the designer. The minimum top width may be kept as 4.50 m.https://ayurvedia.ch/bose-wave-radio-awr1-1w-manual-0 However the designer with his experience and judgement may decide the adequate side slopes where special technical or economic considerations may have to be taken into account.Main problem of silt and clay foundations is stability. In addition to the obvious danger of bearing failure of foundations of silt and clay, the design must take into account effect of saturation of the foundations of the dam and appurtenant works by the reservoir. Method of treatment (a) To remove soils of low shearing strength (b) To provide drainage of foundation to permit increase of strength during construction (c) To reduce magnitude of average shearing stress along potential surface of sliding by flattening slopes of embankment Pockets of material substantially more compressible or lower in strength than the average, are usually removed. The most practicable solution for foundation of saturated fine-grained soils is to flatten the slopes of embankment. Soils of low density are subjected to large settlements when saturated by the reservoir, although these soils have high dry strength in natural state. If proper measures are not taken to control excessive settlement, failure of dam may occur by differential settlement and foundation settlement.The required treatment of low-density foundation would be dictated by the compression characteristics of the soil. Foundation consolidation will be achieved during construction. Zoning: If only one type of suitable material is readily available nearby, a homogeneous section is generally preferred. If the material available is impervious or semi pervious, a small quantity of pervious material is required as casing for protection against cracking. On the other hand if it is pervious, a thin impervious membrane is required to form a water barrier. Above 3m height, 1m ht.The minimum berm width shall be 3 m. Prerana Choudhary, Dy.

Where the site conditions and soil test results are favourable a safe and economical design for structures within the feasibility limitations set out in Chapter 10 can be achieved through careful application of the requirements specified below.This chapter examines the design required for earth-fill embankment dams which are widely used in Kenya. Rockfill dams are not discussed due to their limited utilisation in Kenya, primarily due to the difficulty in providing a robust impermeable membrane over a rockfill embankment. Where there are limited quantities of impervious material, more pervious material can be placed on either side of the core creating a shell. The most economical type of dam will usually be the one for which materials can be found within the site or a reasonable haul distance. This is a function of the spillway capacity and freeboard; Acceptable values for upstream and downstream slopes are provided in Table 12-3; The selection of material for the downstream shell and the design of internal drainage blanket and toe drain address this aspect; The design of the cut-off and impervious core address this aspect. Usually the most appropriate location will be indicated by a narrowing of the contour intervals on the topographical map (see also Section 10.7). This means that the final embankment height should be established through an iterative process which considers the cost of spillway excavation and the cost of embankment construction as the cost of the intake and other structures is constant irrespective of the height of the embankment. For small earthfill dams on relatively non-compressible foundations, a camber of about 2 of the embankment height (with a minimum of 0.20m) should be provided. Linear equations should be used to vary the amount of camber, and make it roughly proportional to the height of the embankment. The critical condition is when the inflow design flood (IDF) (for the design return period) is passing through the spillway. The net freeboard (NF) is defined as the minimum freeboard that occurs when the spillway is flowing at its maximum design flood capacity.MoWI (2005) provides a relationship between fetch and minimum freeboard which has been summarised in Table 12-1. The more conservative value should be used. The water depth (hA) is established from the spillway design described in Section 12.3. The crest width (CW) should therefore comply with Table 12-2. Consideration should be given to the camber and surface dressing of the crest. The crest should be sloped at 1 to shed rainwater. The crest should be dressed with a minimum of 200 mm of compacted murram or gravel. This provides a hardwearing surface that can handle periodic light traffic and is less likely to erode. The grass species that are suitable are creeping (stoloniferous) grasses which cover the ground closely. These species include Kikuyu, Signal ( Brachiaria humidicola ), Bahia ( Paspalum notatum ), and Star ( Cynodon spp ) grass. Grass species that form tuffs should be avoided. The more pervious material on the downstream shoulder serves to lower the phreatic line to keep it within the embankment. A more granular material on the upstream also helps to reduce the uplift pressure under the embankment. The impervious core should penetrate through the cutoff trench to the impervious foundation layer. The top of the impervious core should exceed the flood water level. Analysis of the slope stability for different embankment heights and fill material has informed the recommended steepest slopes given in Table 12-3 for well compacted material. However, in cases where particularly bad foundation conditions occur, it is advisable to select flatter slopes. No slopes steeper than 25 can be tolerated without special considerations. Steep slopes can create sliding planes through unequal embankment settlement against the original ground, thus creating seepage paths for water. Where steep river banks are encountered, these should be smoothed out as part of the foundation preparation work. The core trench should extend up the abutments to the height of the normal water level. However the project engineer should make a conscious decision regarding the depth of the core trench. The final excavation depth of the core trench will be determined once the core trench is fully exposed. However the estimated depth can be established based on test pit details. Note the depth of the core trench is generally not uniform because of additional excavation required at the intersection with the water course to ensure the impervious layer is fully penetrated. Alternative alignments should be considered if seepage under the embankment cannot be controlled. The associated investigations, design and construction of a grout are not covered in this document. The reader is referred to other reference material for information on the investigations, design and construction of grout curtains and the services of a qualified geotechnical engineer will be required. Filter blankets and toe drains are normally only used for dams exceeding 5 (five) meters in height. Ideally the filter blanket should consist of graded material (usually sand and graded ballast) and a toe drain which satisfies the recommended USBR filter criteria (United States Department of the Interior - Bureau of Reclamation, 1987). These criteria are: However, FEMA (2011) does not recommend the use of synthetic geotextile membranes where the membrane would be buried and its failure could compromise dam safety. The drainage blanket should be extended up to an elevation of 4 to 5 meters below the embankment crest. The position of the drainage blanket within the embankment cross section should be such that there is at least one metre of material on top of the blanket at the downstream point (as shown in Figure 12-3). The drainage blanket is typically placed horizontally on the foundation surface. However, alternative geometry, alignments and placements should be considered where there is concern regarding potential seepage paths beneath the core trench or within the abutments. A perforated pipe (e.g. perforated corrugated HDPE pipe), acting as a collector drain, is placed within the toe drain to convey seepage water away from the embankment. The collector drain should pass through a chamber where seepage flow rates can be observed and monitored. Care should be taken during construction to avoid crushing the pipe drain. The bottom toe of the rip-rap layer needs to be keyed into the embankment face to prevent gradual movement of the rip-rap down the slope. This can be achieved by the construction of a step or inset at the appropriate height along the embankment face. The space between the top line of the rip-rap and the crest can be grassed to reduce erosion. Grass species that form tuffs should be avoided. This requires particular attention during construction to schedule stockpiling of top soil and inclusion of the top soil along the downstream face during the construction process. The incorporation of relatively large concrete structures as spillways for small earth dams is difficult to justify on economical grounds. In the case of large discharges to be catered for, the possibility of constructing two spillways -one on either side of the embankment- can be considered; the quantity of excavation required usually being the decisive factor. In cases where the topography of the site favours such a solution the possibility of discharging the flood waters into a valley other than the original river valley can also be considered. This could however have adverse effects on eventual water users downstream of the dam and on the flow regime of the other river. Problems with spillway channel erosion prohibit the construction of spillways on backfilled soil. Spillways should always be excavated in original material. Where this is not possible, it is advisable to protect the river-bed from scouring at the location of the spillway discharge. Lining with reno-mattresses, gabions or pitched stone is usually appropriate. For all other types of spillways, reference is made to the United States Department of the Interior - Bureau of Reclamation, 1987. A site may require a side spillway on both sides of the embankment. The sill level is controlled by a reinforced concrete sill (minimum width 300 mm), thus preventing lowering of the crest level by erosion. This sill is usually aligned with the dam axis. The depth of the sill (minimum 1.00 m) below ground level should be determined by the engineer to minimise seepage underneath the sill. Where the sill is proud of the spillway bed and there is a risk of erosion and undercutting of the sill, a 150 mm thick reinforced concrete apron should be placed downstream of the sill. The width of the control section should be a minimum of 10 m unless a detailed analysis justifies otherwise. Grouted masonry can be laid along the floor and side slopes to protect against erosion where the spillway is cut into soil and where a good grass cover cannot be guaranteed. Usually, it slopes moderately (maximum 1 ) upwards to the sill. The cross-section is usually narrowed down gradually towards the sill. Care should be taken that the water flowing to the control section remains far enough from the earth embankment to minimise the risk of erosion of the embankment face. Control of the outflow channel water velocity is usually achieved through adequate slope selection. Otherwise lining of the channel (or parts thereof) with rip-rap will be required. In case of unacceptably long outflow channels, the possibility of incorporating a gabion or concrete drop structure can offer a solution. The Manning formula (Equation 12-5) can be used to establish the velocity in the outflow channel for different gradients, widths and channel roughness. There are various options to reduce the speed of flow including changing the slope to induce a hydraulic jump, creating a stilling basin or placing chute blocks in the line of flow. Reference should be made to detailed design documents where energy dissipaters are required. Energy dissipaters should not impede flow through the control section. The height of the training wall should exceed the flood water level. A masonry wall, anchored on a secure footing, with appropriate buttresses, is acceptable for heights less than 2 m. A reinforced concrete retaining wall is required for wall heights above 2 m. Well constructed gabions are feasible where wall heights are less than 1m. The services of an engineer should be engaged to establish the full design for a reinforced concrete retaining wall. Maintaining well vegetated river banks, or placing well constructed gabion boxes, are options to minimise river bank erosion. See also the discussion on options for reducing flow velocities in Section 12.3.4.” Computers and satellite mapping technology in the coming years were absolutely integrated more deeply into the military’s infrastructure, with all the concomitant civilian consumer impact. The first Gulf War (and even Operation Just Cause, the plan to remove Manuel Noriega in Panama, commanded by none other than General Thurman) demonstrated clearly the impact of global media on the waging of war (not to mention the use of non-lethal sonic weaponry in the form of the rock music blasted at Noriega in the Vatican embassy). The Pentagon’s media blitz during the first Gulf War, CNN’s subsequent rise, and the public’s embrace of personalities like Norman Schwarzkopf and Colin Powell prove Channon’s vision of worldwide video warriors came true in a horribly warped way (not to mention the irony of satellite news stations broadcasting scenes of the environmental disaster of the burning oil wells of Kuwait, something that the Gulf War forces seemed incapable or unwilling to repair). Much as the New Age mentality was subsumed into corporate America, so too were Channon’s warrior-monks. In the mid-'70s Channon took a leave of absence (with pay) from the army to go on a fact-finding tour of the New Age Movement, before coming back and writing the First Earth Battalion manual.A scene where information on a missing general is provided by Cassady in a Remote Viewing session is likely drawn from inspiration from McMoneagle's partly successful attempt to RV kidnap US Brig. Gen. Dozier's location in Padua, Italy (1981). The scene where computer systems are destroyed, seemingly by Lyn, resulting in his initial recruitment by Gen. Hopgood, is very close to fact. Instead of trying to communicate anything about the plot or content of the film, it just contains multiple stacked faces of the stars.Ewan McGregor played Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels. It was invented for the U.S. Army in the 1850s by Maj. (later Confederate Gen.) Henry Hopkins Sibley. The army discontinued its use by World War II. Bragg were filmed at The New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM. As a professional soldier, he commanded five combat units, with two years in Vietnam, and in 1978 created the First Earth Battalion Field Manual for non-lethal warfare. In his work as social architect, philosopher and futurist he remains a key adviser to military think tanks and specialises in 'Natural Security' and 'Global Reconstruction'. He has created designs for a global village, a district, several bioregions and the planet connected with a webocracy, 'imagining the Army's full potential as an instrument for the future'. Jim Channon's history was explored in Jon Ronson's book, The Men Who Stare at Goats (2004). Film recording 43:26 Jim Channon: Go Planet. A Strategic Visionary Story and Art for the next Military Century. But how many of the film's outlandish military research projects really happened. Danger Room also noted Col. Alexander's long-running feud with Armen Victorian (alias Henry Azadehdel, alias Habib Azadehdel, alias Cassava N’tumba and others), orchid smuggler, conspiracy theorist and all-round spooky character in the intelligence world. Moving into the further reaches of the fringe we find earlier work, such as Boeing's 60's psychic experiments which concluded that certain subjects could force a random number generator to produce a specific number by sheer willpower. In the movie, Channon is played by Jeff Bridges. Much of the artwork from the New Earth manual is lifted straight from the Channon original. Channon has been taking advantage of the publicity for his cause; this week he has a column in the Guardian newspaper, suggesting (among other things) that armies should be used for reforestation and navies to control over-fishing. Psychics are notoriously prone to believing in their own powers and are often convinced that experiments have proven their abilities when the results have been equivocal. However, as the First Earth Battalion's manual makes clear, winning the psychological battle is a big part of the struggle. If your opponent believes that you can kill them with a look, then they are already half-way to being defeated. And many martial arts masters know that by overawing their students with displays that might be described as trickery, they can convince them of the value of their discipline.

Jim Channon was featured in Fortune magazine as the business world's first corporate Shaman. He was featured in Omni and other magazines and websites as the founder of the Army's First Earth Battalion. He was the lead futurist and educational technologist for the U.S. Army. Jim has been described as a cross between Buckminster Fuller and Walt Disney. He created advanced visual AVL and the virtual reality exercise VRX. He has also done cultural voyaging with tribal groups worldwide. It kick started a creativity movement in the army,” says Channon. “Post Vietnam was a time when the army needed a good dose of out-of-the-box thinking.SourceWatch is a project of the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD).
