On-Demand Webinar: Terminal Structures and Energy Dissipation at Outlet Works and Spillways

Effective energy dissipation of flows from outlet works and spillways is an extremely important component in dam safety. Undersized or ineffective structures can lead to damage and failure, possibly endangering the dam or the flow channel and properties downstream. Generalized design criteria for many different types of energy dissipaters and/ or stilling basins exist from several different government agencies, both federal and state (including many state dam safety offices). This webinar will provide an introduction to the problem of why energy dissipation is necessary, a review of the many types of structures and their application, specialized designs, typical operations and problems, and where to find more information.
